The model is an Intel SRCU42E, which has an onboard 500MHz XScale processor, and is the fist RAID controller to be based on the next-generation PCI-Express x8 interface, giving it a huge theoretical speed that should be of real benefit to server applications which rely on fast storage.

We're starting to see some real benefits obtainable from the PCI-Express platform, in contrast to the underwhelming introduction that Intel faced when first pushing the standard earlier this year. There are still some areas where we are waiting to see any kind of performance increase, but all the signs are that uptake of the platform is getting quicker, and will speed up as we start to see wide availability of AMD-based platforms.

Video editing is one area where there are performance benefits to be had right now. As video luminary James Morris told the INQ this morning, users of applications such as Pinnacle Liquid and the forthcoming 3D Edit from Tenomichi, which use 3D graphics hardware to render effects, are already starting to see speed increases from the bus which make a technology transition compelling. ATI's Dinesh Sharma, in a recent interview over at Digital Media Net, also explained that bandwidth limited applications like HD video compositing are seeing a swift shift to PCI-Express, and outlines how ATI expects the workstation market to move to the new platform quicker than consumers.  The Inquirer
