We all know that large datacenters not use the same hardware as that of our homes. Maybe sometimes be similar, but usually not integrated in the same way. One of the main priorities for these institutions (which, incidentally, are much more common than we think) is to optimize the ratio performance / watt and achieved great potential but at affordable prices for any company.
Including Microsoft. The guys from Redmond are one of the leading companies in the sector, and of course make use of multiple data centers physically located throughout the world. These centers are used for storing and executing information based on cloud computing services (also called the cloud).
We also know that Microsoft and Intel are two companies that have historically been well supported with each other. The last thing we know is that Microsoft is pushing Intel to evolve its Intel Atom so that they are good processors for use in large data centers and servers. It seems that they want to achieve is the number of Atom chips with 16 cores, each of which would be very basic but would work very efficiently in parallel, performing complex calculations in relatively low and getting better results than the current Xeon or Opteron processors very powerful but also with large energy consumption.
To achieve this, Intel Atom has a lot to improve. Today it is a domestic processor core in the calculation operations per second is quite limited. Additionally, in energy competition are ARM chips, less powerful - yet - but also more efficient. There is a clear movement from different manufacturers to make chips more efficient: one is Intel with the Atom, a project that has been a few years in the market and now appears to have stalled, but certainly over the current 2011 exhibit an innovation for them.
On the other hand, AMD and NVidia are interested in the ARM architecture and in the laboratory are already preparing their new products: the called Project Denver NVidia and AMD, meanwhile, also seems to be interested in this architecture, but not yet officially confirmed anything. Microsoft and Intel are two of the largest companies in their industries, but the most powerful, and can get where they want.
What seems clear is that this is not going to do overnight, as they are very complex projects - far more than we think - and maybe we are talking about in many, many years. Image | Flickr Caranta Arthur. Track | Hexus. More | PCWorld.
