The servers introduced include new models of the four-way IBM x 255 rack and tower system; new four-way models of the x 360 rack-dense server; and new four- and eight-way models of the highly scalable x 440, with planned support for 16 processors.
"We continue to refresh the xSeries line with the latest innovations from IBM and the latest processors from Intel," said Deepak Advani, Vice President of IBM eServer xSeries.
"While Dell and HP have yet to deliver an eight-way system based on the Xeon processor MP, IBM continues to pioneer the 32-bit Intel server space with new four-way, eight-way and, later this quarter, 16-way systems that deliver outstanding performance and real business value."
Mike Fister, Vice President and General Manager of Intel's Enterprise Platforms Group, said, "The new Intel Xeon processor MP delivers tremendous performance, scalability, and reliability for mid-tier and back-end servers.
IBM's servers based on the Intel Xeon processor MP offer customers a compelling combination of features and innovative technologies to handle demanding enterprise deployments."
