Qualcomm and Samsung Electronics have succeeded in developing and commercializing server processors using the world`s first 10-nanometer (nm) process technology. As a result, Qualcomm has expanded its mobile chip-based business structure to servers, and Samsung Electronics has expanded its presence in the foundry market by expanding its 10nm process technology to server processors. The Qualcomm-Samsung Alliance has begun a strong counterattack in Intel`s proprietary server processor market.
Qualcomm announced its first server processor, the Centrix 2400, at San Jose, Calif., Tuesday. At present, the smallest server processors are Intel`s 14nm-based chipsets. The Qualcomm Sentrix 2400 was designed based on Samsung`s 10nm FinFET process, replacing Intel`s previous record.
"Qualcomm is known as a mobile chipset company, but for more than four years, we have been involved in research and development in the server field to create a related ecosystem," said Paul Jacobs, chairman of Qualcomm`s board of directors. The Centrix 2400 is designed to be the world`s first 10nm pin-hole process in cooperation with Samsung Electronics, so it offers excellent price / performance and significantly reduces power consumption, making it a perfect `substitute` for corporate customers. "
In particular, compared to memory semiconductors, the server processor is a system semiconductor that performs high-level processing such as computation and memory input / output. In the case of real memory semiconductors, the manufacturing process went down to 7nm units, but Intel`s 14nm server processor was the minimum process. Qualcomm has been able to lower server prices by lowering processor prices, which are core parts of servers, while producing server processors with 10nm process.
Anand Chandrasaur, president and chief executive officer of Qualcomm Data Center Technology (QDT) said, "Qualcomm Centric 2460 is four times more expensive than Intel Xeon Platinum 8180, "Confidence appeared.
Qualcomm aimed directly at the Intel server family, which currently monopolizes the data center cloud server market. The target market has also been clearly identified as a `data center cloud server`. In particular, we released all of the figures compared to the Intel product line, but both Qualcomm Sentrix products were superior in terms of performance, power consumption and price competitiveness.
"Qualcomm`s centric performance is up to 13 percent better than Intel Xeon in terms of unit throughput based on the same number of cores, up to 45 percent over power consumption, up to 48 percent over density, "The price of the Centric 2460 processor with 48 cores is $ 1995 and is up to 45% better than Intel`s Skylake processor family, the Xeon Platinum 8180, "Qualcomm plans to launch the cloud market in full force by supplying products to data centers such as Alibaba and Microsoft, which operate major data centers around the world.
According to market researcher IDC, the data center server market is estimated at $ 1.6 billion.
It is expected to grow to 20 billion dollars by 2020. The market for server processors is dominated by Intel with a market share of more than 90%.
