Intel next year or release of the first enterprise SoC server chip

High-density servers are gaining traction in cloud computing deployments, and Intel plans to launch the first SoC-class Broadwell-DE high-performance server chip next year in order to seize the market. This is the first time that Intel has adopted a form of SoC integrated with the motherboard rather than a traditional slot-based installation.

The Broadwell-DE chip is a faster device compared to Intel's Atom-based server chip, and the Broadwell-DE chip will use 14-nanometer process .SoC product's advantage is to achieve high density and low power consumption, AMD will release 64-bit ARM server chip this year, and ARM architecture chips are used SoC package.

Intel's Atom server chip is still the traditional slot, but there is a gap in power control and ARM chips. So Intel began to develop SoC chips, the most important feature of this chip is the integration of a variety of controllers, the overall control of power consumption.

Cloud computing has spawned a high-density micro-server market, the cost and power consumption of traditional data centers and general-purpose servers began to become prominent. How to achieve the balance between power consumption and cost, server chip makers began to introduce low-power chip products. ARM architecture and traditional x86 architecture compete for leadership in the micro-server market. 3721.html "> The good show of the server chip market in 2014 started.
