Broadwell DE can carry up to eight processing cores with Hyper-Threading support, and thus will consume no more than 15 watts. Add to this the developed interface, including the integrated network controller, and yielding a serious contender junior server solutions, AMD. Perhaps the energy consumption with Broadwell DE can only compete on the AMD Opteron architecture ARM, but the performance they are unlikely to be competitive Xeon DE.
Another feature of the assembly Broadwell DE will be able to integrate them into FPGA-matrix that will allow customers to place inside Intel processors accelerators calculations for specific tasks. AMD is also moving in the direction of meeting similar needs of customers, but it is going to do it at the level of integration in the Opteron unique blocks, rather than using the FPGA. This approach has the advantage that the accelerator will serve better than in the case of solutions based on universal FPGA-matrices. Related Products :
