Xeon is no more a that tall Server SoC, lot more new in the market
The server-processor design is no more a closely guarded secret. Unlike few years back, where IBM, Sun Microsystems and Intel had full grip over the server processor market, today ARM 64-bit architecture is soon to make this market just like any other chip in the market. Intel's Xeon which still has a huge market share but is facing powerfull new- comers. The leading fabless chip vendor Qualcomm entered this market by launching a matchable competitor for Intel's Xeon.
The power of processor is not just pack of billions of logic gates but more of the smart architecture to process various kinds of data. Super computers mix and match trditional CPU processors, server processors and graphic processors to achieve high process throughput. Supercomputer also find lot more options now in selecting chips including made-in-China server/super computer processors.
Qualcomm has made available a 10nm Centriq 2400 Family server SoC with up to 48 Custom ARMv8-Compliant Cores for datacenter servers. Qualcomm Centriq 2400 series features the Qualcomm Falkor CPU and target cloud customers seeking new server solutions optimized for total cost of ownership, while meeting performance, efficiency and power demands.
At an event, Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies demonstrated Apache Spark and Hadoop on Linux and Java running on a Qualcomm Centriq 2400 processor. Qualcomm Centriq 2400 process...
