Broadwell chip -DE will be directly soldered onto the motherboard of the server. This design has some advantages but also require some compromise.
The adoption of dense servers for cloud deployments is slightly higher and Intel hopes to capture a larger share of this market with these server chips whose output is expected next year. The founder of Santa Clara wants to weld its servers chips Broadwell -DE directly on high performance motherboards . The Broadwell -DE are the first Intel processors to adopt a design type SOC (system -on- chip) . These processors can be placed in the socket , and therefore can not be upgraded , which differentiates them from other server chips. "In this way , the design of the card is more dense ," justified Shannon Poulin, vice- president and general manager of Intel's Data Center Group Marketing . " Fleas Broadwell -DE will be delivered during the second half of 2014 or early 2015 ," said the Vice President .
The server vendors such as Hewlett -Packard and Dell are looking to reduce the size of their servers for data centers and increase performance while reducing electricity costs . HP relies on its HyperScale server Moonshot : with hundreds of low-power cores , it can , for example, to support search queries, process the messages from social networks and perform other calculations in the cloud. According to HP , 4.3 U Moonshot system is more efficient than standard rack servers . In addition , it takes up less space and consume less energy.
Reducing bottlenecks on the motherboard
"There are other advantages and tradeoffs with Broadwell -DE processor ," said Shannon Poulin. The SOC design eliminates the potential bottlenecks on the motherboard . But server chips on slot access more memory and more power, which helps to increase their performance. " The chips will ship a wide range of I / O controllers which can be adapted to storage systems and network as needed ," said Shannon Poulin. According to Intel , the chips Broadwell -DE , produced by the burning process to 14 nanometers, are faster and consume less energy than its Atom server chips.
" The chip -DE Broadwell could eliminate some bus interfaces and increase performance, but it may compromise the reliability and functionality need ," said Jim McGregor , principal analyst at Tirias Research. " Intel's goal is to advance deeper into the networks. The founder does not want to be limited to servers , "said the analyst. "It is very important for Intel to make its place in the network , given the growing number of connected devices to come ," said Jim McGregor yet rated .
Haswell also happens on servers
In the second half of next year , Intel must also deliver a chip Xeon server name Grantley code based on the Haswell microarchitecture . The founder is also willing to let customers add their intellectual property in the form of modular blocks in its server chips. According to Intel , the chips will thus easier to customize. "We will examine all requests for those who want to work with us and we will work together on the items they want added to the product ," said Shannon Poulin. "Often , the customer wants a design that allows it to meet a unique need ."
Until then , Intel has proposed standardized server chips. But last year , the foundry began creating custom chips for data centers of large customers such as Facebook and Google, adapting its processors and chips depending on the workload and data center energy consumption . Depending on the case , Intel has changed the clock frequencies , added accelerators, increased cache and added more hearts to customize its chips . The founder also designed the logic of its server chips circuits. "Next year will be a year of " return to vigilance " for Intel. Indeed, the depth will be faced with the arrival on the market based on the ARM architecture " server chips , said analyst Jim McGregor Tirias Research .
