AMD buying SeaMicro

[Dusan K]

Advanced Micro Devices has agreed to buy a hot Silicon Valley startup that powers the likes of Google and Facebook. A.M.D. wants to build its profile against Intel as the chip supplier to the world’s biggest computer centers.

A.M.D. said it would pay $334 million, including $281 million in cash, for SeaMicro, which makes energy efficient “microservers” currently sold largely to intelligence agencies and Web giants. SeaMicro’s products currently use mostly low-power chips from Intel and Samsung to carry out jobs like real-time data analysis by creating a “fabric” of multiple servers and data storage units.

Još jedan korak u pravcu prema sistemima sa niskom potrošnjom . AMD se ne šali kad je rekao da je promenio fokus .

Ovo je vest od pre mesec dana.
Definitivno dobra investicija i odgovor na Intelovu strategiju Low-Power Micro servera.
Ruku na srce, Intel je počeo sa time pre tačno godinu dana kao odgovor na sve veću popularnost, skalabilnost i potencijal ARM procesora.

Biće interesantno videti infrastrukturu jednog ozbiljnog data centra za dve - tri godine 🙂
