Hewlett Packard Enterprise last summer introduced the first of its Gen12 ProLiant systems, packed with Nvidia’s latest GPU accelerators and aimed squarely at the rapidly expanding AI space that in less than two years went from prompt-and-respond chatbots to AI agents that can reason, plan, and collaborate on their own. …
If Intel hopes to survive the next few years as a freestanding company and return to its role as innovator, it can not afford to waste its time and it cannot afford to make any more mistakes. …
It is beginning to look like chip maker Intel hit the bottom in its products and foundry businesses in the second quarter of this year and that revenues are slowly – we won’t go so far as to say surely – improving. …
If you are looking to upgrade your X86 server fleet – and there is lots of chatter about how many enterprises as well as hyperscalers and cloud builders are in the financial mood to do that – then the good news is that both Intel and AMD have now rolled out the best serial compute engines they have ever fielded. …
Intel recently demonstrated a new type of DIMM memory technology called Multiplexer Combined Rank (MCR), also referred to as MRDIMMs, that provides up to 2.3X better performance for HPC workloads and up to a 2X better on AI inference workloads in comparison to 5th Gen Intel Xeon processors, based on internal Intel analysis. …
UPDATED: Intel has been talking about its “Granite Rapids” Xeon 6 processors for so long that it would be easy to forget that they have not yet been formally announced. …
Based on what Intel has been saying for the past several weeks in various events, but especially the Hot Chips 2023 a few weeks ago and the more recent Intel Innovation 2023 extravaganza, the company’s foundry process roadmap and its server processor roadmaps are going to align harmoniously to make the Xeon SP family of CPUs more competitive next year. …
Sometimes, especially with Intel in the past several years, the fact that the CPU roadmap doesn’t change is the news. …
It was a reasonable enough gut reaction given the many changes happening at Intel in recent months. …
We are still chewing through some of the announcements that came out of Intel Investor Day and the ISSCC 2022 chip conference, and one of the things we want to circle back on is the “Falcon Shores” hybrid CPU-GPU that Intel is working on for future servers. …
