Nehalem-EX will add new reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features traditionally found in the company’s Intel® Itanium processor family, such as Machine Check Architecture (MCA) Recovery. Together with new levels of performance, both high-end processors should speed the move away from more expensive, proprietary RISC-processor based systems.
