New processors and multi-core SOCs may have grabbed most of the attention from Intel's datacenter related announcements yesterday, but the true game changer (and I really hate that phrase) is the production release of the Intel Silicon Photonics optical connection components.
With the performance possible from this technology, the entire design of datacenters is likely to change, not to mention the basic architecture of large scale server computing.
Hmm, I was wondering when they would actually implement some of this stuff. Pretty amazing light taking the place of electrons in computer logic considering they still can't get an elevator to go "up" when you press the Up Arrow half the time.
