Intel and AMD in the run for high-end server processor in India

High-end server processor is considered as the lifeblood of high-performance computers. The two giant companies Intel as well as AMD are in the run for this battle; when Intel launched four - to eight -core Xeon 7500 “Nehalem EX” processors; AMD unveiled its eight- to 12-core Opteron 6000 “Magny-Cours” chips to counter the competition.
If we compare the two giants, AMD, with its Opteron 6000 “Magny-Cours” processors targeted a more conventional computing space by delivering workload specific performance, power efficiency as well as delivering more spaces for lesser money. On the other hand, Intel with its Xeon 7500 processor has made a huge performance leap, which has improved the benchmarks tremendously.

Now-a-days there are HPC (High Performance Computers), which are used to solve the advanced computation problems and also these are mostly used by the high-tech industries.The number of organizations with performance computing facility in India has risen enormously from 2008 onwards and these two companies were featured in Top 500 of the latest supercomputers. According to the SERC (Supercomputer Education and Research Centre) of IISC (Indian Institute of Science), which revealed that there are 5 supercomputers in Bangalore, 3 each in Pune and Chennai, 2 in Delhi and 1 each in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
At last, till now it is true to say that Intel rule this market of Server Processor Segment in India, which can be revealed from the fact that India has 15 Supercomputers in total out of which majority runs on Intel processor.
