Sun to follow? Exclusive AMD has secured yet another major partner win thanks to Opteron. Starting with the Power7 processor, IBM will give up on making its own Unix/RISC box motherboards. Instead, it will plug the Power chips directly into slightly modified Opteron boards in an effort to save money.â¦

IBM announced yesterday it has officially begun production of the 65nm version of the revolutionary successor to the Power CPU, which now powers some BladeCenter servers and, of course, Sony's PlayStation 3. To lower power consumption while at the same time reducing current leakage, IBM found itself adopting a novel approach, as the company itself shamelessly admitted.

The fact that AMD plans to unveil its quad-core Opteron server processor on Monday is the worst kept secret since rumors yesterday that Apple CEO Steve Jobs would unveil something having to do with iPods today. What has come as a surprise is that Intel decided not to wait to let AMD have its day before releasing some initial specifications for its forthcoming "Tigerton" class Xeon MP quad-core server processors.

(InfoWorld) - Newly released processors from Advanced Micro Devices and Intel will reinvigorate the market for high-end servers, according to one server analyst. The biggest impact ofÂ Intel's recently released Xeon 7300 chips, known as Tigerton, andÂ AMD's just-launched Quad-Core Opteron processor, called Barcelona, will be felt in the market for high-end servers with four processors, called 4P systems, said Rajnish Arora, research director for servers and workstations at IDC Asia-Pacific. The 4P market has lagged in recent months because two-way, or 2P, servers based on quad-core processors from Intel offered the same number of cores as 4P systems using dual-core chips from Intel and AMD. But that is set to change with the release of the Xeon 7300 and Quad-Core Opteron. "Both Tigerton and Barcelona will reinvigorate the 4P market," Arora said. The Xeon 7300 and Quad-Core Opteron are the first quad-core x86 processors designed for 4P systems. Previously, both Intel and AMD offered only dual-core processors for this segment of the market. The introduction of these chips allows server makers to build systems with a total of 16 cores in four processors, double the amount of cores that was previously possible. "It's a very powerful, scalable platform now," he said. The increased processing power of these systems will allow users to consolidate their x86 servers, since fewer servers can offer more performance. "They are far more powerful than 4P servers sold two years ago," Arora said. While fewer servers are required, the prices of servers will start to rise as users demand systems with more memory to handle virtualization workloads. "Companies are looking for more richly configured systems," he said. IDC is owned by International Data Group, the parent company of IDG News Service.
