Intel releases low power server chips
Intel will launch a low power version of its server processors based around a tweaked version of its Xeon chips.
Intel announced a new product in its Xeon product family, a 14-nanometer Xeon E3 processor, which the company's vice chairman Andy Bryant said was Intel's "first SoC based on a high-performance core".
The unnamed chip will incorporate Intel's next-generation, 14nm "Broadwell" processor architecture for the company's flagship Xeon and Core product lines. Unlike other high-performance products in the upcoming Broadwell offering, this chip will have integrated I/O, fabric, and accelerators on the same die as the CPU, making it a true SoC with more in common with Intel's low-power Atom products for the data centre.
