#CHIPS: "Low-Power Micro-Servers Greening Data Centers"

In 2013 Intel's Atom will power a second-generation of greener micro-servers, following Intel's first-generation green datacenter processor in 2012, the Xeon E5-2600. The new 22-nanometer Atom "Avoton" S1200 will run on just six watts in 2013 and when shrunk down to 14-nanometer in 2014, just five watts. R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog
Intel’s evolving both Xeon E3 and Atom processors down parallel paths to 22-nanometer sizes in 2013, called the Xeon “Haswell” and the Avoton “Silvermont”. Both will ride the wave of Intel’s 3-D tri-gate ultra-low-power process down to 14-nanometer dimensions by 2014. SOURCE: Intel
