This looks pretty decent in terms of hitting close to the Xeon 2680v4. But every server ARM play so far has been unobtanium until it's grossly out of date.

- 0xcde4c3db 9y agoI might be excessively cynical, but I suspect that most of these ARM server plays are narrowly targeted at the biggest cloud/advertising companies (Facebook, Amazon, Google, etc.), with the publicity being meant more for investors than potential customers. I remember seeing some server architecture (Cavium ThunderX, maybe?) specifically being advertised as good for social media analytics. Are there more than 10 companies in the world that actually buy their own hardware specifically for that?
