Chipzilla has said that it will release the first fruits of its Altera buyout in early 2016.

The new chip which mixes its Xeon processors with Altera’s programmable chips will end up being sent to Intel’s biggest customers.

Diane Bryant, senior vice president of Intel’s Data Centre Group, speaking at the Structure Conference in San Francisco said the chip has been on the drawing board for more than a year – before Intel bought Altera.

For those who came in late Altera makes field programmable gate arrays, or FPGAs, which are chips that can be reprogrammed after manufacturing.

Such chips have been used in specialty applications, but were not typically used in the servers that run gigantic data centres. Intel’s estimates that FGPAs will run a third of data centre servers by the year 2020.
