The planned launch this week of the new Penryn processors is the first step of a plan that Intel hopes will hit AMD hard going into 2008.
Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, already fighting over today's customers, held simultaneous meetings Wednesday to try to turn attention to the server processors that will be on tomorrow's battleground.
Intel will introduce its new "Tulsa" Xeon chip for high-end x86 servers on Tuesday in the US, the latest of several moves to reclaim turf lost to rival Advanced Micro Devices.
Dell's latest PowerEdge servers may be an all-Intel team, but there's an AMD super-slab warming up on the sidelines.
Advanced Micro Devices has claimed its highest market-share position against Intel in years, cracking the elusive 20 percent barrier.
There's no such thing as an average server, but for just about all your everyday computing needs one of these Intel Xeon-based servers is likely to do the trick.
Hewlett-Packard, Dell, IBM and others will announce on Monday in the US the first servers to use Intel Xeon processors augmented with 64-bit extensions, a technology with major long-term implications.
If you're planning to invest in new computers, it's worth considering whether to make the move to 64-bit technology. Does the extra scalability justify the expense?
Will they or won't they? Dell execs remain elusive on AMD plans, but analysts say circumstances could push the two together.
In response to a recommendation I made to cancel all non-AMD system buys, many people have been asking what changed recently that caused me to reach this conclusion.
There's no such thing as an average server, but for just about all your everyday computing needs one of these Intel Xeon-based servers is likely to do the trick.
Sun Microsystems announced Monday that it will resume selling servers with Intel's Xeon processor, restoring a hardware partnership and extending it to software collaboration.
With such a wide variety of server platforms available, we take a look at some beefy servers sporting some very impressive processing grunt.
Intel is taking a software approach to increase the performance of its 64-bit Itanium processor when running 32-bit applications.
Sun Microsystems' software products will support AMD's new Opteron--but not initially the chip's 64-bit capabilities that distinguish it from rival Intel processors.
