Some see the move to many-core ATOM servers , as a move to put financial pressure on intel(since ATOMs are cheap).
And this move helps the future of ARM based servers , since ARM is more similar to ATOM than to XEON.
- hga 16y agoThere's going to be limits to the amount of pressure as long as Intel doesn't offer ECC for any Atom variety microarchitecture. One of the articles I read said that they thought about using an AMD chip but it wasn't going to ship soon enough. I can see them hearing from their customers (would be and actual) that they'd buy more if they offered ECC and SeaMicro offering an AMD based box in the future. I wonder how Atom specific the ASIC is....
- ippisl 16y agoi think that the chip also suits the ARM architecture without changes.
