Dempsey is part of a dual-core server platform called Bensley, which features Intel’s Hyperthreading technology along with its new high-speed I/O acceleration channel. “We will ship thousands of seed systems to OEMs and the ISV community, in the second half of this year,” Talwalkar said in an interview after the event.

Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.
