AMD has dramatically revised its road map for server processors, adding a new six-core processor and pushing out the arrival of a next-generation core well into the next decade.
After months of deriding rival AMD's strategy of cramming four cores onto one chip, Intel is set to take that concept two cores further.
It got delayed a few months, but a new, somewhat unusual supercomputer from Sun Microsystems will get formally unveiled next week.
Intel has unveiled a slew of details on its portable and enterprise processors, new memory technologies and wireless development, as part of a 14-paper onslaught on the 2008 International Solid-State Circuits Conference, which opened in San Francisco on Sunday.
Intel is set to unveil a range of new innovations, including a new two-billion transistor, quad-core Itanium microprocessor codenamed Tukwila, at the International Solid State Circuits Conference this week.
Supercomputer expert Cray and Intel have entered a multi-year agreement on high-performance computing, a deal that seems to leave rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in the lurch.
Being green, in terms of IT and datacentres, only very superficially has anything to do with saving the environment. In reality it is about cold, hard cash and how to spend less of it.
Intel Chairman Craig Barrett has seen a lot of PCs pass by his desk in the last 25 years.
Intel announced "Sossaman" on Tuesday, a low-voltage version of its Xeon server processors that consumes between a third and a fifth the amount of electrical power as its brethren.
Intel demonstrated two quad-core processors Tuesday in the United States, "Clovertown" for servers and "Kentsfield" for PCs, directing attention toward the future during a more troubled present.
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.
If you thought dual cores were over the top, get ready. Intel presents the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, a single CPU with four distinct processing cores. The first quad-core CPU will remain an enthusiast part for a while, but as a glimpse of the future, it's clear that clock speed is out and core counts are in.
Intel's Core architecture now underlies mobile, desktop and server chips, and is a major departure from the Pentium 4's NetBurst design.
Intel will launch its "Montecito" version of Itanium, the first dual-core version of the processor, on July 18 in the US, sources familiar with the event said.
Intel's latest Pentium 4 processors bring long-awaited 64-bit support to the desktop, along with -- in the 600 series -- notebook-style cooling technology.
