Intel unveiled its first low-powered Pentium chips for "blade" servers with double processors.

Blade servers are ultra-thin servers designed to fit into horizontal racks, for installations that perform high numbers of relatively simple tasks such as serving web pages.
The new chip runs at 800MHz - faster than Intel's existing 700MHz blade server chip. Dell and Fujitsu-Siemens are planning to launch products with the new chips later in the year.
