This week during Intel's spring IDF conference in Beijing, the chip giant revealed several initiatives that it claims will give it a prominent position entering 2008. One of the most stand-out projects in the works is dubbed Geneseo, aimed at competing squarely with AMD's Torrenza technology.

Both AMD and Intel express interest in opening up their respective processor platforms to allow third-party hardware developers to produce "accelerators" that can be integrated into a system, providing specialized processing for specific tasks. Late last year, Intel responded to Torrenza during its fall IDF conference by claiming that it too will open up its server platform. Today, however, we find that while Geneseo is headed in a similar direction as AMD, there are significant differences between the two platforms.
