SeaMicro company already proposes server solutions, which unite 512 processors Intel atom z530, originally intended for use in the composition of mobile devices. AMD also sympathizes with the idea of servers creation on base of its own processors with bobcat architecture. We observe how Intel adapts the atom architecture for all devices. Does this indicate that we will see the server version atom?
As reported Intel representatives , the company does not have similar plans, although it will not prevent the creation of servers on base Of atom. Intel belief the server system on base of multi-core processors xeon will be much more effective on the relationship of energy consumption and productivity, than server on base of atom processors. In case of using processors with ARM- architecture in the server systems can appear problems with software compatibility , so this market is also limited, in the opinion of Intel representatives .
Intel Colleagues simultaneously confirmed that the recent acquisition of mcAfee company producer will allow future processors to get a functions of new virus threats recognition. We deal here about the integration of this functionality in the processor at the hardware level.
