June 04, 2013
Intel is jumping into cloud gaming with the new Xeon E3-1200v3 chips, which are the company's first server processors based on the Haswell microarchitecture.The server chips are targeted at microservers that will be able to serve graphics and media over the cloud to client devices, said Radoslaw Walczyk, an Intel spokesman.The 13 new v3 chips draw between 13 watts and 84 watts of power, with some higher-end models including an integrated graphics processor. The low-end 13-watt E3-1220Lv3 is the most power-efficient Xeon processor to date, but it does not include a graphics processor.The target market for E3-1200v3 sector includes the emerging category of cloud gaming, which is also being viewed by Advanced Micro Devices and Nvidia through their CPUs and graphics processor offerings. Nvidia has released the VCA (Visual Computing Alliance) packed with graphics cards to serve up games, while Advanced Micro Devices offers Opteron server chips with integrated graphics processors.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
