Intel launches the latest server chip prior to AMD

March 17, according to foreign media reports, Intel Tuesday (March 16) released its latest server processor chip to maintain its dominance of rival AMD and prepare to respond to the expected growth in demand. This new processor is designed for servers and high-end desktop computers. The chips are the first time Intel has used smaller transistors in server chips.　　These smaller transistors help intel enhance the performance of its laptops and desktop chips while trying to maintain better energy efficiency. Intel also has built-in security features in these chips.　　Intel says these security features can encode and decrypt files more quickly, effectively eliminating the "encryption tax", which is the loss of computer performance due to the protection of files. The chips for the server will be released under the name of the Xeon product, and the chips for the desktop will be released in the name of the Core i7.　　Intel hopes that these chips will attract the attention of the entertainment and video gaming markets. But Intel server Marketing general manager Boyd Davis says the biggest opportunity in terms of servers.　　In the server market, One-third of servers use chips that were produced four years ago.　　Although 90% of the world's servers use Intel's processors, according to market research firm IDC, Intel processors are not the only ones vying for potential server sales. AMD's newest chip will also improve speed through a high-profile redesign, said Patrick Patla, general manager of the Department for Advanced Services.　　In the history of the AMD Opteron server chip, he says, no performance leap is greater than the performance we will achieve from 2009 to 2010. AMD's latest chips will be available in the coming weeks. How AMD chips catch up with Intel's latest chips remains to be seen.
