The upcoming Haswell Xeon E5 v3 processor from Intel has already generated profits and revenue in the Data Center Group by the end of the seconds quarter.
For those of you who are unaware, Data Center a part of Intel that makes processors, motherboards, and chipsets that are used in servers, switches and storage arrays. Even though the PC Client Group is much larger in size, the Data Center has been growing at an impressive rate.
In fact, both are quite essential for Intel as they need PC and other device volumes to aid in cutting down costs for the production of servers, switches and storage chips.
Brian Krzanich, Intel’s CEO has reported that the Data Centre Group set an all-time record for sales in the second quarter. Intel has increased the Data Center Group revenue over $1 billion over a year. Even if it’s difficult to wrap your head around, it still sounds impressive.
It may be difficult to imagine the tremendous increase in revenue considering the new server chip is set to be launched in September.
Early adopters if the Hawswell Xeon E5 v3 chips have conspired to pump up revenues even before they officially come to market by getting the chips first, these include HPC customers and cloud builders. This is indicative of the fact that now, as the IT industry and technology in general advances; customers will be able to move to the front and get their way. Notwithstanding the professional envy and the disadvantage to the rest, these seemingly small preferential advantages add up to a substantial advantage, else they wouldn’t be really increasing the revenues of the technological giant.
