Silicon at Intel Solutions Summit for 2010 ... 10/5/2010
Posted by Liam O'Keeffe
We have just returned from the 2010 Intel Solutions Summit for Intel Channel partner Premier Members in Macau. It was pleasing to see some excellent growth results from the APAC channel segment (in which Silicon operates) and we continue to gain market share against the Multinational segment, especially in the server and storage space. Intel's new Core processors (Core i3, i5 and i7) was obviously a big focus, and these processors do offer many benefits in the desktop space. Other products showcased were the New Intel 5600 series Xeon processors which are currently available in all Silicon servers, a host of desktop platforms, and some interesting new retail products. Macau was certainly an eye opener, as the Las Vegas of the East, we did well to stay away from the blackjack tables! You can view more detailed information on the 2010 range of Core processors and the Intel 5600 series Xeon processors through the following links:
