# Advanced System-on-Chip Processors The Intel Xeon D-2100 Processor Offers Compact Power By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-02-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intel-xeon References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/2018/02/07/intel-xeon-d-processor/) & [intel](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/homepage.html) The rise of connected cars, ubiquitous connectivity and the smart home has increased the need for processors that can handle the ever-increasing workload, which is seeing new solutions like the [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intel-12th-get-core-alder-lake) Xeon D-2100 processor coming about. Unveiled by Intel as a system-on-chip (SoC) processor, the unit needs lower power requirements and includes up to 18 cores to ensure that extra speed is always available when required for certain processes. The Intel Xeon D-2100 processor aims to eliminate the bottlenecks that can form with cloud services that often rely on servers that are quite remote. This could include smart cars that are in need of traffic data or streaming services that have thousands of users looking to gain access to new content at the same time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/computers) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Increased Connectivity:** The rise of connected cars, ubiquitous connectivity, and the smart home is driving the need for processors capable of handling high workloads. - **Energy-efficient Processors:** The Intel Xeon D-2100 processor offers lower power requirements, making it more efficient and environmentally friendly. - **Multi-core Processors:** The Intel Xeon D-2100 processor includes up to 18 cores, providing faster speeds and increased processing power. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Connected cars require advanced processors to handle the increased workload and demand for real-time data. - **Streaming Services:** The Intel Xeon D-2100 processor can support streaming services with large numbers of users accessing new content simultaneously. - **Cloud Computing:** Energy-efficient processors, like the Intel Xeon D-2100, can help eliminate bottlenecks in cloud services by providing faster and more reliable processing power. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Saving Technology Processors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intel-12th-get-core-alder-lake.md) - [Enterprise-Level CPU Processors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epyc-4004.md) - [AI-Powered PC Processors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amd-ai-processors.md) - [Upcoming Efficient Laptop Processors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nvidia-n1x.md) - [Laptop Efficiency-Accelerating Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qualcomm-snapdragon-x2-plus.md) - [Efficient Laptop Processor Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapdragon-x.md) - [Efficient AI Processors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-processors.md) - [Luxury Desktop Processors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12900ks.md) - [Industry-Leading Mini PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gmktec-evo-x2.md)
