Intel drops plans for Infiniband silicon

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Intel Corp. has abandoned plans to provide Infiniband silicon and will instead rely on third-party host control adapters that will be tied to future Intel server chip sets using the I/O standard.

Intel, which helped spearhead the box-to-box interconnect standard and was one of the first companies to field prototype chips, said it wants to shift its engineering resources to other areas like the emerging PCI Express I/O standard, formerly known as 3GIO.




"The Infiniband ecosystem is maturing and several vendors are planning to supply products," an Intel spokeswoman said. "Intel's strategy is to focus on developing interfaces like PCI Express for future chip sets and to ensure high bandwidth for these third-party host controller adapter components which will ensure Infiniband connectivity on Intel-based platforms."
