Tokyo based Hitachi today announced the development and operational verification of the world's first chipset supporting Front Side Bus (FSB) speeds of 667MHz for the Intel Itanium 2 Processor.
Hitachi will be exhibiting its BladeSymphony product powered by the FSB 667MHz chipset at the Intel Developer Forum this week in San Francisco.
Patrick Gelsinger at Intel said,
"Today's demonstration of hardware-assisted virtualization is a result of the strong collaboration between Intel and Hitachi. Delivering advanced server platforms that combine Hitachi's chipset with Intel(R) Itanium(R) processor family and Intel(R) Virtualization Technology will provide real benefits to IT managers looking to improve their virtualization solutions in the enterprise."
The FSB 667MHz chipset achieves SPECCPU2000 Benchmark improvements of 15% and STREAM Benchmark improvements of 40%, compared to a 400MHz FSB.
