      AMD’s new Opteron-X processors—the X2150 and X1150—bring the chip maker’s x86 chips into the microserver mix. AMD already had traction in the space after buying SeaMicro last year, and officials have said the company will begin making ARM-based server chips in 2014.

      Integrated into the X2150 are 128 AMD Radeon 8000 cores—seen here in the red block—enabling customers to leverage the SoC for multimedia server workloads. The chip consumes as little as 11 watts of power.

      5The X1150 Chips is a CPU-Only Version

      The Opteron X1150 does not include the integrated graphics technology, and it optimized for general scale-out server workloads, AMD officials say. It consumes as little as 9 watts.

      6SeaMicro is a Key Part of AMD’s Microserver Strategy

      6 - SeaMicro is a Key Part of AMD's Microserver Strategy

      AMD in 2012 bought SeaMicro, a microserver vendor that at the time was partnering with Intel. The acquisition not only brought AMD systems—such as the SeaMicro SM15000 system—but also the company’s Freedom Fabric technology.

      8 - Intel Later This Year Will Come Out With 'Avoton'

      The next generation of microserver-optimized Atom chips, dubbed Avoton, will come out later this year, and will be 22-nanometer chips based on the upcoming “Silvermont” microarchitecture. In this photo, Raejeanne Skillern, director of cloud marketing at Intel, holds an Avoton SoC in her left hand and a Centerton chip in her right.
