happyprince Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 For energy-efficient data centers Intel announced today that it will create a low-cost, low-power “micro-server” platform dubbed Centerton, aimed to deliver energy-efficient computing. The move is a reaction to Advanced Micro Device’s acquisition of micro-server startup Sea Micro for $334 million in February. Patrick Moorhead, analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, said, “This is a clear indication that Intel is raising their game in micro servers, even though they still think it comprises 10 percent of all servers in 2015.” He thinks that Intel will win on raw compute performance per processor, compared to AMD’s chips and expects the overall Intel solution to be competitive, but a full comparison will only be possible once the servers can be tested side by side.
