Intel Moves Xeons To The Moore’s Law Leading Edge

April 28, 2017 Timothy Prickett Morgan 2

In the wake of the Technology and Manufacturing Day event that Intel hosted last month, we were pondering this week about what effect the tick-tock-clock method of advancing chip designs and manufacturing processes might have on the Xeon server chip line from Intel, and we suggested that it might close the gaps between the Core client chips and the Xeons. …
