Intel Doubles Down On Doubled Up Xeons For HPC
These are challenging times for Intel. Long – and still – the dominant chip maker in the datacenter with its battle-tested Xeon processors, the company is now seeing challenges everywhere. …

AMD is hosting its “Next Horizon” datacenter event in San Francisco this week, and archrival Intel, which is losing some market share to AMD but not feeling the pain on its books yet thanks to a massive buildout in server infrastructure at hyperscalers, cloud builders, and smaller service providers like telcos, is hitting back by divulging some of its plans for next year’s “Cascade Lake” Xeon lineup. …
Sometimes, you just have to be amazed by a good stroke of luck in the IT sector. …
There are an increasing number of ways to do machine learning inference in the datacenter, but one of the increasingly popular means of running inference workloads is the combination of traditional CPUs acting as a host for FPGAs that run the bulk of the inferring. …
The fleet of servers in the enterprise datacenters of the world – distinct from hyperscalers, cloud builders, and HPC centers – are getting a bit long in the tooth. …
When this is all done, Intel might have wished it had kept Renee James as president and chief executive officer, because Ampere, an Arm server chip startup that James has been running since this spring, wants a big piece of the Xeon datacenter business and it has the financial backing to start a price war that others can win and only Intel can lose. …
With Moore’s Law running out of steam, the chip design wizards at Intel are going off the board to tackle the exascale challenge, and have dreamed up a new architecture that could in one fell swoop kill off the general purpose processor as a concept and the X86 instruction set as the foundation of modern computing. …
The changes to the Xeon server chip architecture and the consequent server platforms are going to be a bit thin here in 2018 after a pretty big jump with the “Skylake” Xeon SP processors and the related “Purley” platforms that launched back in July 2017. …
The massive amounts of data being generated in enterprise datacenters and out there on the public clouds and the need to quickly access and analyze that data is putting a strain on traditional storage and memory architectures that typically inhabit these environments. …
Intel continues to pull in massive amounts of money through its portfolio of datacenter wares and to dominate the market for processors in the glass house. …
