The Tianhe-1A uses 7, 168 Nvidia Tesla M2050 GPUs and 14, 336 Intel Xeon CPUs.
Of course, headlining is the 64bit dual-core Xeon with 4MB shared L2 cache across the board, topping out at 3GHz.
Similarly, Apple bumped up the specs on its Xserve, slotting a pair of 45-nanometer quad-core Xeon's into its rack-mounted server.

According to TechEye, Intel may also announce a new chip aimed at the data centre processing market and an alternative to Xeon.
But very soon Intel regained its lost share by introducing the Xeon processor and releasing upgrades and newer products in the following years.
Apple announced a new Mac Pro that pairs two of Intel 's new 45-nanometer quad-core 3.2-gigahertz Xeon processors, putting eight processor cores into Apple's powerful workstations.
PCs, the well-known Pentium, and the soon-to-be-introduced high-end Xeon.
Additionally Intel has mentioned that it plans to refresh its entire Xeon product line in first half of 2011, which could lead to more advanced and higher priced server microprocessors being introduced.
