Apple unveiled Aug. 7 its new Intel-based Xserve server, which CEO Steve Jobs said is five times faster than the previous generation of Xserves.
The new Xserve has two fast dual-core processors that run either at 2.0GHz, 2.66GHz or 3.0GHz. The dual-core Intel Xeon processors require less cooling time due to better power efficiency and up to 2.25 terabytes of storage. Redundant power supplies are offered as an option.
