Intel's first server chips with 3D transistors coming this quarter

Intel said on Wednesday it will release its first Xeon server chips with 3D transistors this quarter, in a move that analysts said would intensify the cloud hardware battle with rival Advanced Micro Devices.

The company's new Xeon chips will be based on the upcoming Ivy Bridge microarchitecture and initially will be aimed at the emerging category of microservers, Intel said. Microservers are low-power servers with shared components designed mainly for Web serving and cloud applications.
