Intel disclosed its roadmap for low-power processors for the emerging
micro server category today, including a new server processor based
on the Intel Atom processor microarchitecture targeted for 2012.
Micro servers share infrastructure resources and are ideal for
workloads where many low-power, dense servers may be more efficient
than fewer, more robust servers.
Intel will deliver four new processors for the category that span 45
watt high performance to sub-10 watt, all with server features
including 64-bit, Intel Virtualization Technology and
Error-Correcting Code (ECC)
Intel expectes that the majority of the micro server market will be
served by the forcoming low-power single-socket Intel Xeon processors
E3-1260L and E3-1220L.
For the lowest power, higher density solutions with light processing
requirements per node, a new sub-10 watt server processor based on
the Intel Atom processor mocroarchitecture offers an additional
option.
- Intel Xeon processor E3-1260L, 45W, currently in production
- Intel Xeon processor E3-1220L, 20W, currently in production
- Server processor based on Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, 15W,
available in 2H'2011
- Server processor based on the uNtel Atom microarchitecture,
Sub-10W, available in 2012
Intel's customers are already planning designs based on these
processors, including Intel Xeon processors E3-1260L and E3-1220L in
production now.
The following soon-to-be-released Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 family
and corresponding chipsets are in production today:
