AMD is rebooting its server business around chips with the Zen CPU, which will also be used in PCs. AMD is getting creative with Zen and considering merging the CPU with a high-performance GPU to create a mega-chip for high-performance tasks.
Between the new AirPods and stereo speakers, audio was one of the biggest stories with the new Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. But it was hissing sounds reportedly coming from the new phones when their A10 Fusion CPU is under heavy load that were grabbing headlines over the weekend.
When AMD chip designers sat down four years ago to etch out the Zen design, they had two things in mind: to drive up CPU performance as much as possible and to keep power efficiency stable.
Inside IBM's new S822LC server for high-performance computing is a new interconnect that gives a five-fold speed boost to communication between a CPU and graphics processor.
Our test focused on three areas: CPU performance and power consumption, 10GbE network performance, and solid state disk (SSD) performance and power consumption.
A cloud data center is supposed to scale sky-high — but few know the actual capacity. How many virtual machines can it host, and how will the cloud perform as CPU, storage, networking and I/O utilization climb higher and higher? Those are hard and important questions that few can answer with confidence.
When you're looking to buy new computer equipment, you commonly evaluate the device for its CPU, its MIPS and even the operating system. Adding to the acronym frenzy, it's becoming increasingly common for purchasing officers to look at a vendor's CSR, too. CSR? That's a term you won't find in the technical manuals. It stands for Corporate Social Responsibility.
Some of the first tests Network World conducted more than a dozen years ago were on what would now be called very low-end servers and switches - those with only one slow CPU and 10Mbps network connections. Judging by the features of this year's Best of the Test Network Infrastructure winner - Cisco's Catalyst 4948-10GE with its 48 copper Gigabit Ethernet and two 10G Ethernet ports - you can't help but realize that we've all come a long way.
We tested Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition RTM on a switched gigabit Ethernet D-Link network using primarily a Dell 1950 server equipped with a dual quad-core 1.6Ghz CPU, 32GB of DRAM, two Broadcom GBE NICs connecting it to the network and a QLogic 2GB FC card connecting it to our internal SAN.
We tested each VM product along with its principal management console options on an gigabit switched network utilizing a primary VM hosting platform consisting of an HP 585 with four dual-core AMD 64-bit CPUs and 4GB of memory per CPU card.
Optimizing power consumption, CPU performance, and form factor is a never-ending battle in server design and IBM's Bladecenter HS22 s쳮ds on all counts.
PC hardware may finally be catching up to VPN software. ABIT Computer and Cavium Networks are teaming up to make a PC server motherboard that includes a dedicated encryption processor, meaning higher VPN performance without taxing the server's CPU.
When configuring a server that will be virtualized and placed in a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) environment, it's important to tune the server for optimal CPU utilization and balanced IOPs performance.
Компания Adata представила на выставке CES 2024 образец гибридной системы охлаждения с незамысловатым названием XPG Hybrid Cooler. В продукте размером с традиционный воздушный CPU-кулер она разместила все необходимые элементы СЖО (радиатор, помпу и...
Вместе с новыми процессорами для настольных ПК корпорация Intel представила «рефреш» мобильных чипов Raptor Lake. Они будут представлены в HX-серии CPU Core 14-го поколения, рассчитанной на использование в игровых ноутбуках, а также линейке...
В ходе презентации на CES 2024 руководство Intel также затронуло тему готовящихся к выпуску продуктов. В частности, на вторую половину этого года запланирован релиз двух новых семейств процессоров Lunar Lake и Arrow Lake....
Компания ASRock вскоре предложит новые мини-компьютеры на базе платформы AMD AM5. В моделях DeskMini и DeskMeet X600 будут использоваться процессоры Ryzen 8000G с мощной встроенной графикой, а также обычные CPU Ryzen 7000-й серии....
At a glance, Thomas Fairfield, manager of technology at Elliot Health System, says he can see that the overall CPU utilization for his server clusters is at 20% or less, that the number of CPU-ready virtual machines is down in the single digits – if even there – and that he’s got zero memory ballooning.
