Intel's Haswell coming to Xeon E5 chips this quarter

From PC World: Intel has started shipping Xeon E5 chips based on the Haswell microarchitecture to server makers, and the chip will be in servers this quarter.

The Xeon E5 chips typically go into two-socket and four-socket servers and are the company’s biggest-selling server products. The new chips, code-named Grantley, will succeed former chips code-named Romley, which are based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture.

Lenovo has already announced plans to launch a new line of servers based on Grantley this quarter. Server makers including Hewlett-Packard and Dell also use Intel’s server chips and could announce products.

“We think ... it’s going to be a very powerful product,” Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said during an earnings call on Tuesday.
