Comments Off on Intel’s Next CPU Faster Than Sandy Bridge

We hear that Intel is already in discussion with its partners about the 22nm Ivy Bridge CPU, and the talks cover the chips performance.  The 22nm processor supposedly offers more performance with a similar thermal design.

Intel is informing its buddies to expect a 20 percent performance increase over Sandy Bridge, which is about the same gain that Sandy Bridge had over Nehalem based CPUs. Keep in mind this is an optical shrink of the existing 32nm Sandy Bridge architecture.  Intel traditionally takes a very safe process when it moves from one manufacturing process to another. The 22nm Ivy Bridge comes with the new architecture and will debut in time to take on Bulldozer and Llano from AMD.

Comments Off on Software Issues Plague ARM Servers

PC World is reporting software issues are hurting the ARM Processors and may inhibit it from being a serious contender to x86 Processors.  Dell Computer started testing some of the processors in low-end servers to appease some of their larger clients.  It appears that these companies were interested in the low power and density in data centers.

Dell’s General Manager of Server Platforms stated “he had major concerns about the weak software ecosystem surrounding ARM. He said that there are lots of advantages from the architecture even if it means  porting your code over to that new instruction set and maintaining two different software stacks. But he said that there are time and cost issues associated with porting software from x86 to ARM.”  Read More….
