Wednesday, Intel demonstrated an experimental processor that applies the principles of cloud computing. Intel was involved with the launch of BlueLock vCloud Express back in September, so we're excited to hear about the continued advances in their cloud computing technologies.
The new processor, a 48-core processor has 10 to 20 times the processing engines contained within the most popular Intel chips and consumes the same amount of energy as two household light bulbs.
The developer community refers to the chip as a cloud computing chip because the design is similar to the organization of cloud datacenters with the linking of processing cores through a high-speed network.
Intel Lab Head and Chief Technology Officer Justin Rattner quotes, "With a chip like this, you could imagine a cloud datacenter of the future which will be an order of magnitude more energy efficient than what exists today, saving significant resources on space and power costs."
As a leading infrastructure-as-a-service provider, BlueLock gets excited to hear about these new advances in cloud computing technology. As the market continues to grow and mature, it will be technology like this that will push "the cloud" to greater heights. Keep up the great work Intel!
