Intel Ice Lake Xeon chips look to take on AMD Epyc Milan.
Intel has unveiled its latest weapon in the fight against AMD in the data center wars with the release of its new Ice Lake chips. The new 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable chips are the company’s first 10nm data center processors, and look to play a crucial part in the company’s push for supremacy in the increasingly smart and digital world around us. Intel says the new chips will also play a key role in expanding 5G usage in areas such as edge computing, offering a huge increase in performance and efficiency when dealing with network workloads. The launch forms the latest salvo between Intel and AMD, and was the first time new Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has presided over since taking the top job. “It’s a new day at Intel,” Gelsinger said at the launch. “We are no longer just the CPU company. Only Intel can bring together software, silicon and platforms, packaging and process with at-scale manufacturing for our customers so they can build their next-generation innovations.
