Paul Smith, who works on server instrumentation, stops by to talk about power capping using Intel technologies to limit the amount of power consumed by a node/rack in a data center. More info: Data Center Efficiency Intel Chip Chat Home Page

In this Intel Chip Chat podcast with Allyson Klein, returning guest Andrew Fanara from the EPA discusses the progress being made on the ENERGY STAR* for servers spec. Server Energy Efficiency Initiatives The Server Room

In college Dean Blevins was recycling, and even met a certain someone across the street because of it. Now he s involved in paring down servers at Intel to save energy and costs. More on IT Sustainability from Intel

Virtualization offers great advantages in the data center. And it s good on the client side, too. Intel IT s Dave Buchholz says that companies must face the reality of managing the corporation s assets while allowing knowledge workers to perform at a high level with new and seemingly unmanageable technologies. That means enabling employee creativity by allowing users to personalize their laptops and other devices or even bring their personal devices on to the network. In this video Dave discusses Intel s Dynamic Virtual Client (DVC) road map and the advantages of adopting a DVC strategy.

Brad Ellison, a 12-year veteran of Intel s IT group, stops by to discuss how Intel as a corporation approaches data center/server refresh and lifecycle management. For more information see: IT@Intel The Server Room

Jim Ryan, chairman of the SSI Forum, talks with Allyson Klein about the organization and its work in covering all elements (compute blade, mezzanine, midplane) for a complete, interoperable blade system. For more information see: Server System Infrastructure (SSI) Forum The Server Room

In this audio podcast, Dylan Larson stops by Chip Chat to discuss the emergence of modular-based server platforms the integration of server solutions in the data center. For more information see: Intel Modular Server The Server Room

Matt Bodin of Intel IT shows us how to do some cool remote control tricks (or, as anyone in IT can attest, some powerful actions) on client laptops located anywhere in the world, such as installing SSD software and an OS, as well as resetting new user passwords.

In this audio podcast with Allyson Klein, Mike Patterson returns to the studio to discuss the recently-announced Automated Cooling Environment (ACE) Technology using instrumentation to precisely cool the data center. For more information see: Data Center Efficiency The Server Room

Here is a video that takes you where you rarely can go deep into Intel s labs to talk with the people who design and test next generation chips. The scientists and engineers in Hillsboro, Oregon, are readying the latest chip, code-named Westmere, for manufacturing and product release in 2010. They kindly let us invade with some cameras and ask how development is going. The bottom line is that Westmere has some awesome power which translates into flawless HD television on a PC, high-end gaming, and multitasking. It does this by integrating graphics onto the chip, as well as with Turbo Boost and HyperThreading.

Student designers from Europe and the U.S. put their ideas for new form factors, products, and concepts on display at the Intel University Design Expo, held down the block from the Intel Developer Forum (IDF 2009) in San Francisco. It was a chance for young inventors to show some astonishing originality, from platforms that encourage social interaction to devices that take novel pictures. In this video you will probably agree that these exhibits are quite amazing and thought provoking. And you may find yourself eager to see these concepts and product ideas become widely available.

At IDF09, Intel demonstrated a high-speed optical cable technology available next year that will connect mainstream electronic devices like laptops, HD displays, televisions, cameras, video players, iPods, docking stations and Solid State Drives (SSDs) to each other using optical fiber, rather than copper wires. Developed by Intel and codenamed “Light Peak,” this proposed technology paves the way for a new generation of extreme computer input and output (I/O) performance, delivering 10Gb/s of bandwidth, with the potential ability to scale to 100Gbs over the next decade. At 10Gb/s, a user could transfer a full-length Blu-Ray movie in less than 30 seconds. The company intends to work with the industry to determine the best way to make this new technology a standard.

Chip Chat goes on the road to visit an Intel campus and see how various technologists are preparing for the Intel Developer Forum (September 22 24,2009). Intel Developer Forum The Server Room

Sanjay Natarajan is an Intel rock star and director of logic technology development for the worlds first microprocessors built with 32 nanometer process, codenamed Westmere. Sanjay shares how Intel has reinvented the transistor again, improving upon Intels leading 45nm processor by creating smaller gate pitch and higher drive performance. He talks about using immersion lithography technique for the first time, and how different teams across Intel optimized new energy efficiency and performance features that will be available inside all new Intel Core microprocessors in 2010. Expect to see much more at theIntel Developer Forum (IDF) 2009.

In this video, two Intel engineers, Sudip Chahal and Shesha Krishnapura, talk about their findings in the comparison of high-end Intel Xeon processor 5500 series with the low-end ones. Sudip handled tests of the microprocessor series in enterprise tasks and Shesha oversaw testing using Intel s own electronic design automation workloads. The results: high-end microprocessors doing EDA workloads saw a significant reduction in TCO. In enterprise workloads, performance jumped without TCO rising very much.
