No question about it. Intel had to get a lot of moving pieces all meshing well to deliver the “Ice Lake” Xeon SP server processors, which came out earlier this month and which have actually been shipping to a few dozen select customers since the end of 2020. …
Security is one of those necessary things that should not be an afterthought, but often is, and ideally is so invisible that it doesn’t get in the way of applications and the infrastructure it runs on. …
It has been a long time since Intel changed its manufacturing process – what it used to call a “tick” – and the microarchitecture and architecture of a processor design – what it used to call a “tock” – at the same time. …
Even before the coronavirus pandemic hit, Intel, the dominant maker of processors for servers on the planet, was rejiggering its product roadmaps behind the scenes in conjunction with its largest OEM partners as well the hyperscalers and large public cloud builders that drive about a third of its revenues these days. …
Whatever is going on with its competitive positioning against revitalized X86 server chip rival AMD, Intel clearly felt that it could not wait for the launch of its 14 nanometer “Cooper Lake” and 10 nanometer “Ice Lake” Xeon SP processors to address it. …
While exascale systems, even at the single precision computational capability commonly used in the oil and gas industry, will cost on the order of $250 million, that cost pales in comparison to the capital outlay of drilling exploratory deep water wells, which can cost $100 million a pop. …
In theory, customers running HPC simulation and modeling applications want to cram as much compute in as small of a space as they can. …
Incremental change is the secret to the success of the human race, and it is also its most difficult aspect in some regards. …
With the launch of the “Cascade Lake” processors, the second generation of its Xeon SP family of server CPUs, the fullness of the “Purley” server platform that we heard about way back in 2015 is finally being delivered. …
