FREMONT, Calif., May 14 -- AMAX, a leading innovator of High Performance Computing (HPC), dynamic Enterprise IT, and custom Appliance Manufacturing solutions, today announced the immediate release of its latest, most advanced CPU-based computing solutions built upon the new Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v2 product family. This powerful new platform takes full advantage of Intel's new 22nm 3-D transistor technology, which consumes only half the power at the same performance level as 2-D transistors on 32nm process technology, and ushers in a new era of intelligent performance that dramatically increases performance and drives unparalleled power efficiency in datacenter and cloud computing environments.

The new solutions will enable ISVs to package a powerful, highly-efficient and affordable OEM solution together with worldwide certifications and cutting edge software, while also empowering enterprises to radically reduce datacenter rack space, power, cooling and operational management costs, all while continuing to push the performance-per-watt envelope. AMAX's server solutions address these demands and tap into the power of the new Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v2 product family and platforms to deliver a rich mix of never-before-seen performance, efficiency and advanced process technology. 

"The new Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v2 product family are the first server processors to take advantage of 22nm manufacturing technology using 3-D Tri-Gate transistors to deliver an unprecedented combination of power savings and performance gains for entry-level servers, workstations and the emerging micro server market," said Dylan Larson, Xeon Platform Marketing Director in the Datacenter and Connected Solutions Division at Intel. "AMAX has used these innovations to develop new solutions to offer improved energy-efficient performance and faster access for their customers."

The latest AMAX servers designed around the Intel Xeon® processor E3-1200 v2 product family include:
