Actually, CPU intensive applications are a bad fit for seamicro products. Basically, the cpus in their blades suck, and the entire architecture is designed to favor io-heavy, jumpy (so not fit for GPU), but easily partitionable loads. Basically, web servers.
with AMD, they will be able to better integrate the cpu cores with their IO systems -- Intel was unwilling to let them fiddle around with Atom IP. I expect that there will be some kind of custom-fit Bobcat-derived cpu products for the web server market. Very low price tag, but also very low cost to build.
- jacques_chester 15y agoI don't think it'll be low-cost at all. Not the sticker price, anyhow -- they'll be selling it in terms of computations per watt-meter^2.
