Business Challenge Increasing Compute is key to getting new product designs Especially SoC (System on a Chip) to market. Intel IT s challenge is to deliver more compute to our design engineers, achieving industry best Cap-X, and industry best Op-X cost models. 3
Key Innovation DC 2 90nM* Key Innovation in HDDC: High density power design lowers construction cost inside the room. <22nM* New Density Model >2014 ~5MW in 43 KSF DC 3 Old Density Model 2005-2013 = HDDC 5MW 5KSF DC1 Cost Advantages/Economies of Density roughly works like Moore s Law As you put more kw into each SqFt of computer room the cost per KW goes down * New density model is the equivalent ratio of space reduction of a 90nM die as compared to a 10nM die. 4
