Intel pulls plug on server system design division
An Intel division responsible for designing and planning out server-grade systems is the latest victim on CEO Pat Gelsinger's chopping block.
This week the x86 giant confirmed it is shuttering its Data Center Solutions Group and will sell the rights to its blueprints to computer maker MiTAC. This group produces server designs and reference architectures for datacenter customers; Intel's Xeon processor family is separate and unaffected by the closure.
While MiTAC, and its subsidiary Tyan, may benefit from the sale, it's right to put this into more context. According to Counterpoint's most recent Global Server Revenue, MiTAC was the smallest ODM-direct player — a group that includes the likes of Quanta, Wiwynn, and Foxconn — to make the list, with server revenues of about $75 million in 2021. Counterpoint reports that Foxconn recorded server revenues of roughly $12 billion by contrast.
