Today, Intel made what is likely to be their most important announcement of the year, or perhaps the next couple of years. Clearly the biggest headliner is the introduction of the “Second Generation Xeon Scalable Processors,” which are intended to carry the heaviest load in defending Intel’s estimated 99% market share in data center processors. But the breadth of the announcement is staggering and goes well beyond the obvious, “Here, finally, are Intel’s new Xeons,” with key announcements in networking/connectivity, memory/storage, and FPGAs.
