Intel Teams With Google Cloud to Develop ‘Mount Evans’, a New Class of Data Centre Chip

Intel and Alphabet’s Google Cloud said on Wednesday that they have collaborated to develop a new chip category, which Intel hopes can become a major seller in the booming cloud computing market. This new chip, called Mount Evans, will be sold to companies other than Google, reflecting the way cloud computing providers operate.

They build huge data centers filled with powerful physical computers, and sell virtual slices of these machines to other companies, which in turn are more cost-effective than building their own machines. For cloud providers, tasks such as setting up virtual machines and delivering customer data to the correct location are essentially indirect costs. The Mount Evans chip, which Google and Intel call the “Infrastructure Processing Unit” (IPU), separates these tasks from the main computing tasks and accelerates them. Doing so also helps to ensure that these functions are safe from hacker attacks and increase the flexibility of the data center. “We think this is strategically important.

This is an extremely important area for us and the data center,” Nick McKeown, senior vice president of Intel Networks and Edge Group, told Reuters. Intel is not the only company manufacturing infrastructure chips. Nvidia and Marvell Technology offer similar but slightly different products. But Intel and Google are working together to develop a set of freely released software tools, hoping to make Intel’s version of the chip a more widely used industry standard outside of Google’s data center.

Google researcher and vice president of engineering Amin Vahdat said that Google hopes to inspire a technology trend that makes it easier for all data center operators to flexibly divide physical computer servers into virtual servers to adapt to any computing tasks. “The basic question of what a server is will go beyond the content inside the metal plate. IPU will play a central role there,” Vahdat told Reuters.

Tom Holland to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next, will juggle that with Spider-Man 4 in 2025

Tom Holland, last seen in Apple TV show The Crowded Room last year, has signed his next with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
