Facebook Gets Intel Inside

Yesterday Facebook and Intel announced a partnership to provide all of Facebook’s servers as they expand. The result is that thousands of servers will have “Intel Inside”.

These will be Intel Xeon servers are the top-tier Intel server processors. What does that mean for the Facebook website?

Not much aside from there being a good chance of the site improving its’ speed and hopefully increasing its uptime.
