Intel new Xeon Processor sword refers to cloud computing performance increased by 80%

Intel has unveiled the latest version of the Xeon server processor in Tuesday, Reuters reported, in a move that suggests Intel wants to take the lead in a wave of internet traffic explosions triggered by cloud computing, social networking, and growth in smartphones and tablets.

Intel Data Center director Diane Bryant says "Intel's new Xeon E5-2600 series processors are up to 80% better than their previous product, with lower energy consumption." "The new Xeon chip is mainly used in servers and workstations, and Intel expects server-side devices to grow at a rate of 33% per annum by 2015."

At the same time, the new Xeon processor has been introduced by HP, Dell, IBM, Oracle, Cisco, and will be used in future new products.

Intel's competitor, AMD, is also gearing up for the enterprise-Class Server processor market, which last week announced it would take 334 million of billions of dollars to buy micro-server vendor Seamicro and take advantage of the increasingly focused technology of Low-power server processors. AMD has gradually lost its competitive edge with Intel in the server sector over the past few years, and AMD hopes to help it expand the market for large-scale data center low-power solutions by acquiring Seamicro.

But Intel executives say the new Xeon processor can increase energy efficiency by 50% in some cases compared to a previous product. "We also understand Seamicro's technology, but their technology has not impressed us, and our competitor AMD soon acquired them after we gave up," Bryant said. ”

Today, Intel's shares remain at $26.5 trillion, while AMD's shares are down about 3% per cent, down to $6.86 a share.

While Intel lags Qualcomm and Samsung on smartphone and tablet chip sales, Intel executives point to the server business as supporting the fast-growing mobile market. As more smartphones and other mobile devices grow wildly, it also means an increase in demand for large data centers. Data centers need to store huge amounts of data, such as e-mail, video, and other information.

According to UBS, 2012 data Center input will soar by 49%, driven by Apple, Facebook and Google. Intel's many customers have also demonstrated the future adoption of Xeon products. The head of the German BMW company says they will be carrying Xeon in the next premium sedan's product line to ensure the car can communicate with the Internet at any time. Mario Muller, vice president of the BMW IT Infrastructure department, said that soon we would have 10 million cars with the ability to communicate with the Internet, which would also result in 1TB of data per day.
