InfoWorld reports that Intel plans to unveil a version of its Xeon processor on Wednesday that's designed for high-end servers with multiple processors

The Xeon 7300 chips, called Tigerton, are the first quad-core processors from Intel designed to be used in servers with four or more processors, a relatively small but lucrative segment of the server market. Previously, the Xeon processor for this segment of the market had two cores, despite the availability of quad-core Xeon chips for single-processor and two-way servers.
