HP announced on Monday that it will use an Intel Atom chip code-named “Centerton” in the first production server in its Project Moonshot program. This server is code-named “Gemini.” Moonshot is aimed at creating servers with low power requirements that will cut data-center energy and space requirements, as well as costs. The Gemini server will be processor-agnostic, meaning HP will be able to use processors from other manufacturers, including AMD, ARM and Calxeda, which offers ARM-based processors.
