Early Australian users of Intel's new server flagship, the Xeon processor, say it is quite fast and water-free cleaning agent, but also express concern about its heat. Despite this, Dell announced that the Xeon is "a great product" and said it would be welcomed by the film-making community as its improved floating-point performance will allow for the creation of more detailed animations at a lower cost. The new silicon blew away with an impressive score. Older CPUs scored around 18,000. But Dr. Kozc also had concerns about the heat. He used a test server, a 2U beast, and he couldn't imagine how things would turn out once the Xeon reached blade servers, where a reasonable business expansion to studio-spec engines could be comfortably cooled.
Dr. Jonah Kozc from Swinburne University's Astrophysics and Supercomputing Centre adopted early samples of the CPU to process numbers in pulsar research. At Intel's Australian launch for the Xeon, he said the new chip produced results "four times" faster than those achieved with Nehalem processors. Stephen Girard, CEO of Digital Studio Engine (which provided computing power for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and "Happy Feet Two") simultaneously reported on the Xeon’s speed. The studio operates a farm composed of computing engines approximately made up of 1000 HP blades using Xeon 5640 series CPUs stacked into 128-server racks.
