We typically adopt a CPU family for workhorse
workstations 6~12 months after release. For server platforms: 9~18
months.
Currently,
i-series certified for workstations since September 2009; and for
servers since May 2010.
Certification & Adoption status also depends on
the corresponding motherboard & chipsets. It's
a very lengthy test process on end-to-end
compatibility with BIOS, device drivers, particularly in the area of
our out-of-band management schemes and suites.
Once past compatibility hurdle, the next criteria are
aggregated merits & role placement, based on cost-performance ratio,
and whether it is best-of-class for a given segment. |
