Yeah exactly. Google waves these around from time to time to have something over which to negotiate.

- bogomipz 11y agoKind of like how Google does with Google Fiber? They seem to engage in this just enough to keep carriers in in limited markets but not much more.
- ksec 11y agoIf Zen was as good as the rumored, then waving a AMD Zen Server processor would be much more useful.
- bogomipz 11y agoWhats the Zen offering? This is the first I've heard of it. Unfortunate name considering theres already Xen.
- ksec 11y agoNext generation uArch from AMD. Which promise 40% IPC improvement . Again it won't be as fast as Intel, but at least AMD is within Reach for a price war, where as now even if AMD is 50% cheaper it makes little sense to use them.
- dogma1138 11y agoWhy? Intel can compete with Zen more easily it can also always rebound even if Google does go with Zen. But if Google switches to an entire different eco-system dragging it back into x86 won't be easy because all of their platforms are built for a completely different architecture.
