Intel has introduced Xeon and Atom microprocessors targeted at low-power servers that are becoming the next battleground between Intel and makers of ARM processors.
Intel told reporters Tuesday at a San Francisco news conference that it is currently in production with Xeon E3 45-watt and 20-watt processors, and plans to provide in the second half of the year a 15-watt chip based on its recently released 32-nanometer Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. Intel declined to say whether the chip would be under the Xeon or some other brand. In 2012, Intel promised to release a sub-10-watt Atom server processor."
