Microsoft revealed that they are in the works for a new server chip and Surface Book processors that would soon allow the company to go stand on its own feet, rather than rely on the tech giant, Intel for computer hardware. The software company is also looking to go self-sufficient which was the popular move made by a rival, Apple with its ARM-based Silicon chip.
The multinational technology company from Redmond, Microsoft, has decided for its future and would go to the path of making their own chip technology to rely less on Intel s hardware and tech. The design is initially focused to process the information on its data centers, mostly for its servers as it provides a massive chunk of the world s software.

Intel has finally developed what it claims to be the world s fastest data center storage. The giant chip manufacturer said that its new Optane-charged P5800X can do 1.5 million IOPS of random writes and reads.
Intel also claims it can do up to 1.8 million in mixed workloads. The company used the power of PCIe 4.0 to create the fastest SSD for data centers.
It also released a spec sheet stating that the new Optane P5800X can hit up to 7.2GB per second of sequential reads. Aside from this feature, the new chip is also capable of hitting up to 6.2GB per second of sequential writes.
