My info is several years old, but it was super frustrating, because both amd and cavium claimed to be selling ARM servers, and I was stoked to sell arm-based VPSs, and I even had an ARM/linux friend on hand to help out... but nobody would sell me any. Maybe they were only selling in lots over 100 or something? Maybe my sales contacts weren't good enough.
It would be interesting to hear from someone who has taken delivery of one of these units.
- rwmj 9y agoYou've been able to buy Cavium ThunderX (v1) for a long time. I wouldn't recommend them because of poor single thread performance and the fact that ThunderX2 is nearly there, but for example: https://www.avantek.co.uk/arm-server-h270-t70/ https://www.avantek.co.uk/arm-server-h270-t70/ Qualcomm Amberwing is also available to buy, although at a somewhat eye-watering price.
- dnautics 9y agoI was told that if you are holding out for x2 good luck since most are already presold to big players.
