Intel launches Pentium 350 for mini-servers

Intel supports democratization in its own way of mini-servers with the launch of a new low-power reference that seems derived from the family Xeon, Pentium 350, dual-core processor with a TDP not exceeding 15W.
Pending the possible porting the Atom architecture on server segment, Intel will relaunch one of its historic brands with the launch of Pentium 350, a low-power processor server. With two physical cores clocked at 1.2 GHz, it supports Hyper-Threading, sailed 3 MB L3 cache and supports ECC (error correction). Based on the Sandy Bridge architecture and using the


 LGA-1155 socket, it ignores the core integrated graphics processors consumer Core family, just as it can not handle AES and AVX instructions. He manages, however, the instruction sets dedicated to virtualization (VT-x) from Intel.
At first glance, the Pentium 350 appears as a castrated version of the low-energy representatives of the family such as the Xeon E3-1220L, which for a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 20W, has two cores at 2.2 GHz and has lacking refinements to the newcomer. These features allow lowered the Pentium 350 to see her off at 15W TDP. It should also benefit from an attractive price, even if it was not provided by Intel.
