Gateway Integrates Latest Intel Technology into Rackmount and Tower Server Lines Fastest-Growing Vendor of Volume Servers Offers Enhanced Performance and Flexibility for Customers POWAY and IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gateway today announced that it will utilize the new Intel(R) E7520 chipset and Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processor with 800 MHz system bus in its lines of dual-processor rackmount and tower servers to deliver greater performance, reduced response time and enhanced flexibility benefits for its customers. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020930/LAM050LOGO) Gateway servers will begin shipping in the next several weeks with the new Intel chipsets, which features a blazing-fast 800MHz front side bus and processor clock speeds up to 3.60 GHz. The new Intel technology complements Gateway's growing server line, which is designed to be easy-to-manage and deploy, yet offer expandability, reliability and high-end features for business, government and education customers. In January 2004, Gateway was named the fastest-growing volume server vendor in the country by IDC. "Deploying the latest Intel chipsets and processors across our dual-processor server lines will offer enhanced benefits for our customers, such as increased server responsiveness and room to grow," said Tim Diefenthaler, director of server products at Gateway. "Flexibility is key when choosing a server partner. That's why Gateway servers are based on Intel technology, to let our customers look to the future while improving their system performance immediately." Gateway platforms equipped with the Intel E7520 chipset and Intel Xeon processor with 800 MHz system bus will deliver improved system responsiveness and performance thanks to the increased front-side bus speed and Hyper Threading technology. Other innovations such as PCI Express and DDR2 memory support increased I/O and graphics performance and reduce system latency. Also, enhanced Intel SpeedStep(R) technology ensures improved power savings, a great concern for businesses deploying multiple servers in racks and in data centers. In addition, Gateway servers using the Intel technology will be better prepared to handle current and future 64-bit software such as complex database programs because the new Intel offerings support 64-bit computing. Customers will also be able to experience dramatic performance increases associated with 64-bit computing, even while ensuring compatibility with today's 32-bit software. "The performance benefits of the new Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processor-based server platforms with the Intel E7520 chipset are based on an array of new technologies and capabilities that collectively better address the evolving needs of enterprise computing and are a perfect match with Gateway's customer focus to deliver a full line of industry-proven server products," said Ahbi Talwalkar, Intel vice president and general manager, Enterprise Platforms Group. "Gateway's rollout of new Intel server technology provides compelling advantages for their customers that result in real-world IT improvements."
