HP is preparing ARM-based servers using chips from vendor Calxeda.

  This is huge news. The ARM server market is going to get jump-started by this. Plus, it gives ARM a lot of credibility in the market now. I assume these servers will use Cortex A15.

    Well, someone will have to come up with a 64-bit ARM chip before this really becomes usable for servers.

      You don't think 40 bit with 1 TB RAM support is enough? But I wonder, too, why they didn't use 64 bit directly. Maybe they didn't want it to use too much power in mobiles, or there wasn't enough time to finish it as 64 bit.

        You're right, I completely forgot that there are 40-bit ARM chips out there. Thanks!
