Intel says 10% of servers will use Atom in 2015


 In the humble opinion of Dylan Larson, director responsible for the giant Intel to head its division responsible for the robust Xeon processors - used in servers all around the world - 2015 "at least" 10% of servers out there on the loose will be equipped with modern Atom chips, which currently make career in machine performance and low cost netbooks and nettops.

 
"The market will move from dense servers, two or four sockets, for 'Microservers' processors that use more efficient," he told the Web site The Inquirer.

To account for this new mission tiny chips would even gain some new features like support for ECC memory, capable of detecting and correcting errors during data transmission. According to the executive, the company will launch a new chip under the tutelage of the Xeon family, with architecture inspired by its light weight model.

Curious that when you take one of its most popular products across the frontier to which it was created, Intel may be preparing for the arrival of the ARM chips in the market for personal computers.

As we know, the first time in its history should be compatible with Windows platform other than the x86 chips from Intel and AMD. The still called Windows 8 will also run on ARM processors, lightweight architecture which until today was seen only on smartphones and other handheld gadgets.
