With each successive Intel Xeon SP server processor launch, we can’t help but think the same thing: it would have been better for Intel and customers alike if this chip was out the door a year ago, or two years ago, as must have been planned. …
There is little question that generative AI as well as other kinds of machine learning are going to augment applications in every industry and in every part of the application stack in the coming years. …
Welcome to the second part of our Debunking Datacenter Compute Myths series. …
Based on what Intel has been saying for the past several weeks in various events, but especially the Hot Chips 2023 a few weeks ago and the more recent Intel Innovation 2023 extravaganza, the company’s foundry process roadmap and its server processor roadmaps are going to align harmoniously to make the Xeon SP family of CPUs more competitive next year. …
Any performance comparisons across compute engines in use in a datacenter are always valid for a point in time since new CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other ASICs are always coming into the market at different times. …
Imagine, if you will, how troublesome AMD’s chip business would be at the end of 2022 had it not decided way back in 2015 to re-enter the datacenter with its Epyc processors. …
Everybody expected that Intel was going to turn in a pretty bad final quarter in 2022, and even before it posted its numbers yesterday after the market closed, there were plenty of signals that it was going to be worse. …
If memory bandwidth is holding back the performance of some of your applications, and there is something that you can do about it other than to just suffer. …
If a few cores are good, then a lot of cores ought to be better. …
No matter what, and without any excuses about Moore’s Law slowing down, those buying compute, storage, and networking expect at least one thing in any generational leap in a device: That the cost per unit of capacity goes down. …
