IBM is exiting the server market and the last of its x86 businesses. Does this mean rocky times and low margins are looming for Intel's core business?
Lenovo to buy IBM x86 server business for USD 2.3 bln
2014-01-23 10:31:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Lenovo confirmed it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire IBM's x86 server business for USD 2.3 billion. This includes System x, BladeCenter and Flex System blade servers and switches, x86-based Flex integrated systems, NeXtScale and iDataPlex servers and associated software, blade networking and maintenance operations. The purchase price includes around USD 2 billion in cash and the remainder in Lenovo stock. IBM will retain its System z mainframes, Power Systems, Storage Systems, Power-based Flex servers, and PureApplication and PureData appliances. Lenovo already acquired IBM's PC business in 2005, helping it become the world's largest PC maker last year. With the PC market slowing, the acquisition of the server business will provide a new growth area for Lenovo. IBM plans to focus more on software and services and will continue to develop Windows and Linux software portfolio for the x86 platform. Following the closing of the transaction, IBM will continue to provide maintenance on Lenovo's behalf for an extended period of time. Approximately 7,500 IBM employees around the world will be offered employment by Lenovo as part of the deal. The takeover remains subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions.

Tegra K1 64-bit Denver core analysis: Are Nvidias x86 efforts hidden within?
2014-01-06 19:08:06| Extremetech
Late last night at CES 2014, Nvidia surprised everyone by revealing that its in-house 64-bit ARM core, Project Denver, would arrive this year in the Tegra K1 (Tegra 5/Logan), rather than next year in Tegra 6 (Parker). The Tegra K1 will ship in two flavors, a quad-core Cortex-A15 and dual-core 64-bit Denver, both with the 192-core Kepler GPU. While the GPU is exciting, and we'll be discussing its ramifications in due course, it is Nvidia's 64-bit Denver core that we'll be looking at in this story.
