Intel reveals new Xeon CPUs for embedded devices

[seriousjack85]

That is Strange! Why would INTEL wants to cut into ATOM territory?

The performance has to be seen from these Chips.

What? Did you look at the link you posted? They perform nothing like atoms, they consume around 10 times as much power and are quad core for starters.

Ten core, twenty thread goodness!

But they are going to be for embedded devices that's what ATOM is for.

But they are going to be for embedded devices that's what ATOM is for.

Physically, embedded systems range from portable devices such as digital watches and MP3 players, to large stationary installations like traffic lights, factory controllers, or the systems controlling nuclear power plants. Complexity varies from low, with a single microcontroller chip, to very high with multiple units, peripherals and networks mounted inside a large chassis or enclosure.

Did you really do no further thinking than that? Atom are low power consumption and performance embedded, these are high(er) power consumption (103watts max draw for the lowest spec one, which is the same as the new K series sandybridge chips) with high(er) performance.

Ten core, twenty thread goodness!

They are somewhat unrelated... And also "Overpriced and outdated".

Pricing for the Xeon E7s starts at $774 and climbs up to $4,616 per 32nm chip, with the usual proviso that Intel won't sell them in batches of less than 1,000.

JESUS - 4.6 million dollars on the smallest order of the best chips? i doubt even Gibbo could stretch to that for us
