Intel E5 processor wants to define cloud server standard

In response to the rapid growth of data traffic in the cloud, Intel Corporation announced the launch of the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600/1600 product family, which has set several new records. Boyd Davis, vice president of Intel Architecture and general manager of the data center infrastructure division, said E5 will become the best and most used processor in the cloud. As a processor platform dedicated to the cloud computing server market, the advent of the E5 may allow the data center to truly enter the cloud era.

Compared to the release of Xeon E3 and E7, the server market's response to Xeon E5 is obviously much more enthusiastic. This is not only because cloud computing is very hot nowadays, and the transformation of traditional data centers to cloud computing data centers is driving the server market once again to accelerate growth. E5 is precisely in such an opportunity period.

Performance, energy efficiency, I/O bandwidth, and security are the four core requirements of a cloudized data center. In this conference, Intel released the Xeon E5-2600 product family. From its performance indicators and new application technologies, the E5-2600 product family is almost to meet the four major cloud data centers. Tailored to demand.

Of course, in the cloud computing market, Intel still has many opponents. In an open posture, IBM launched IBM aimed at the private cloud market and obtained HP's support for the ARM server market. With the advantage of GPU parallel computing, it seized NVIDIA in the high-performance computing market... But as far as E5 is concerned, Intel has no real rival.

OEM system manufacturers will continue to introduce hundreds of platforms based on the Intel Xeon processor E5 product family. These manufacturers include Acer, Appro, Asus, Bull, Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Huawei, IBM, Inspur, Lenovo, NEC, Oracle, Quanta, SGI, Dawn, AMD, and Unisys.
