I didn't even know intel made their own servers... it's usually supermicro or OEM's like Dell or HP.

Yeah, for a second I thought the title referred to CPUs for servers.

It is hard to title since they are stopping servers, but not server CPUs.

Maybe call them server units?

We are going to have a Dell PowerEdge review tomorrow. We call that a server or more than one servers not server units so that would feel strange to me.

I see, it's not easy to just call them "server units." Good to get input from those who actually use them.

"Exiting the server business" is unnecessarily ambiguous - "will no longer sell servers" would be an improvement.

'completed server systems' maybe? Something that makes it clear it is a complete computing device, not just the core component of one.

I would've gone with "prebuilt servers" or "rackmounted servers". Those are of course simplifications, but would make it a bit clearer that it's referring to specific server hardware and not servers entirely.

That would sound either like they are selling custom servers or kits, or they are selling servers in other form factors like towers which both Dell and HP have.

Intel's servers are usually OEMed to some other maker taking Intel's design and using them as the basis of their solution.

The Intel case is pretty recognizable, and I see it time and time again with various vendors hardware kit.

Intel definitely made supercomputers. The i860-based Paragon was legendary in my youth.

Intel has always made white box servers that others resell, since the days of the quad slot xeon 450MHz

Interesting... I had a HP LH4 back in the day...

(quad p2-era Xeon @500mhz each, they made a rackmount model, but the thing had to be like 6U and weighed a tonne... I had the "pedestal" model.)

So even back then they weren't on my radar.
