Intel has announced the next generation Nehalem chips, a series of Xeons known as Jasper Forest. The new chips will feature a 27 watt reduction in power, making them a great choice for systems where low power is desired. The reduction in power is achieved by placing the I/O hub directly on the chip, removing the need for a separate controller. The chips will be able to handle creation and management of both RAID 5 and 6 arrays, making them good candidates for NAS systems. The chips will come in single, dual, and quad core varieties and will be available in December.
