What is the intention of the desperate AMD takeover Seamicro?

At the end of February, AMD bought the famous Low-power server manufacturer Seamicro at $334 million, which is certainly a significant event in the entire server industry. Seamicro, a former Intel partner, is focused on developing high-density and Low-power server products in large-scale cloud computing environments.

It was the first major acquisition by AMD CEO Courville Rory Read, and could be seen as a major move for AMD to compete for a future Low-power server market. Seamicro Micro Server, its power consumption is equivalent to One-fourth of the traditional server, only occupies one-sixth of the space. The Seamicro architecture, which can be simply viewed as a card size motherboard, is combined with CPU, DRAM, and ASIC into the chassis and connected through the Freedom Supercompute fabric.

The micro-server provides support for cloud computing datacenter applications with a large amount of outward-scaling load. The most important innovation of Seamicro is the supercomputing architecture, which establishes a connection between thousands of processor cores, memory, memory, and input/output traffic. The SEAMICRO architecture supports a multiprocessor instruction set that combines Intel's processor with a customized integrated circuit (ASIC-specific integrated circuit) to achieve an integrated 512-block Intel Atom processor in the enclosure.

Another source said Intel had refused to buy Seamicro, saying that "Seamicro technology is not a cold." Prior to the introduction of the Sm10000-xe server based on Xeon processor, Seamicro has been confirmed by Intel that its design will be in the future server market to win 10% of the share.
