Micro-server era AMD closer and Intel's market gap

In the micro-server era, AMD and Intel have narrowed the market share gap. First of all, we need to focus on two news: one is the 64-bit ARM server processor AMD will be at http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33721.html"> is the Seattle-based 64-bit ARM server processor introduced in 2014. The other is Verizon Chose AMD as its own supplier for Verizon's cloud computing and cloud storage business.Why choose these two news? Because these two news and micro-server market.

Verizon's choice for the cloud and cloud storage business is SeaMicro's SM15000 high-density server from SeaMicro, acquired by AMD, which SeaMicro products make known for its high density and low power consumption. SeaMicro microservers can contain up to 768 processors, but power is indeed one-fourth or one-third the power of traditional servers. But what's interesting is that the SeaMicro micro-server is currently powered by Intel processors and may be powered by AMD's own products next year when AMD unveils a 64-bit ARM processor.

In the post-PC era, the processor's computing power was at power-loss, meaning the processor was "over-calculated." Intel's products to superior computing power, but after entering the post-PC era, but this advantage has Intel in an awkward position. At this time, the advantages of AMD slowly emerged, AMD processors known for power consumption. This happens to cater to the low-power mobile Internet market, and AMD's advantage in SoC is also stronger than Intel.

So it seems in the era of popular mobile terminals, advocating low-power era, AMD and Intel's gap is narrowing. However, Intel has not stopped, and began its research and development efforts in low-power processors are intensifying. Whether AMD can narrow its gap with Intel with its low-power and SoC products in terms of market share is a keynote point for the future server chip market.
