So curious what the other hardware is/does. Dan Luu wrote that Intel's cache allocation tech particularly helped Google, so they could run multiple workloads on one machine without totally trashing the larger caches at every context switch: http://danluu.com/intel-cat/ http://danluu.com/intel-cat/ The Xeon D chips, which provide cheap low-clocked big cores and integrated NICs for small servers, were requested by Facebook: https://code.facebook.com/posts/1711485769063510/facebook-s-new-front-end-server-design-delivers-on-performance-without-sucking-up-power/ https://code.facebook.com/posts/1711485769063510/facebook-s-... Someone who follows server chips (maybe AnandTech?) called Xeon D's one of Intel's coolest product lines to come out recently. They're also arguably a smart way for Intel to seal off the lower end of the market against approaches with tons of cheap ARM or AMD cores.
