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 is expected to announce on Thursday in the US that it's expanding its partnership with the chipmaker to include new AMD-based servers, desktops and laptops.
Intel and Dell this week showed off servers using the chipmaker's forthcoming high-end "Tulsa" Xeon, a chip that Intel has begun shipping but not formally announced.
Advanced Micro Devices announced its new "Rev F" generation of Opteron server processors on Tuesday in the US, the next volley in a competition with Intel's newly competitive Xeon models.
The rise in online identity fraud has companies on the hook: Either educate customers or lose them.
In the future, Intel's processors will have split personalities.
