Super Westmere-EX for Servers by intel

The newest product to be thrusted into Intel's server arsenal will be called Westmere-EX, and is set to directly compete with AMD's Mangy-Cours server chip which features 12 cores, and AMD's future Bulldozer architecture.
In a webcast speech, Stephen Smith, vice president/director of PC client operations and enabling at Intel, announced the upcoming Nehalem-EX refresh.  The current EX processors, Nehalem-EX, are available under the Xeon 6500/7500 brands and were introduced in March. Featuring up to 8 cores and 16 threads on a 45nm fab, they are Intel's fastest processors to date. However, the new Westmere-EX processors are manufactured using the 32nm process, allowing faster clock speeds and more cores compared to Nehalem-EX within the same power envelope.

Seagate is going to released 3TB SAS this year.

Sources close to Seagate roadmaps have leaked the potential of a 3TB SAS drive being released this year.
The quest for storage is almost a never ending saga.  Dubbed the Constellation-ES, the replacement for the Seagate Barracuda-ES, the drive is expected to arrive later this year with a 7200 RPM rotation speed, and a 6Gbit/s SAS interface.  A 1TB version of the 2.5" Barracuda-ES is also expected to arrive around the mid year point.
