Is the new Intel Chip indeed all it is cracked up to be? Some say it is all that and more. In fact this dual-core chip for servers will run at 2.80 GHz. A multi-processor version of the chip will be out in two-months and the price will $1,043.00 which competes nicely against anything competing. We are taking an upgraded processor with a faster bus speed, better memory capacity in a new chip set. Can Advanced Micro Devices with it’s Opteron processor continue their frontal assault on Intel.
Intel’s revenge on AMD maybe the Xeon Chip, which threatens to break speed processing records and leapfrog AMD technology. While AMD was busy starting legal issues against Intel, it was Intel who was busy working on the next technology for the future of the industry.

The Xeon Chip will have better performance per watt and this will be important as the push towards smart robotics in manufacturing, transportation and construction continues. Will Intel continue to lead in the Server side of the chip industry or will AMD forge ahead? Most Corporations are still upgrading between three and five years and getting a jump on AMD is a strategically good move for Intel. Think on this.
