Alibaba's a "cloud company", so this is already a reality.
- gfgdfhhjfgjfg 4y agoI totally agree. My hope is that they all try their own projects, but eventually all pool their efforts into whichever one becomes the best. If the c910 is already that one then great. There is also a large incentive for Alibaba in the first place as a future with no x86 or ARM is a possible reality for them - Alibaba's hardware could just be a backup plan and they have no plans to use it in production servers. It difficult to tell if this financial decision makes sense for American companies, however. So yes it looks like thing are going in the right direction but only time will tell what happens ultimately.
