might be that cellphones will be as powerful as todays computers by the end of the decade, but the average computer will also have moved forward alot so its still unlikely you will see racks of cellphone sized servers.
But for private use if they are enough for what you need, maybe.
- zokier 15y agoWhile not exactly cellphone-sized, blade servers are quite small compared to conventional servers. I would be surprised if server manufacturers aren't keeping a keen eye on ARM CPUs. Dells Fortuna[1] concept server is a nice example of an extreme end of blade servers, and it's already few years old. "six servers per rack unit (U) or 252 servers in a 42U rack."
