Less than 10% market share= crushed? These arm plans were initiated either before or when Zen was in its infancy. Amazon and others are going to have a real tough time competing with Genoa/Bergamo in server. ISA is unimportant, just ask Jim Keller or Mike Clark, it's all about execution and I'm sorry but you're not going to be able to compete with a team like AMD's. Apple's consumer chips are alright but they are never getting more than 20% of pc market share and are about to be embarrassed by Phoenix APUs. Oh and to the guy here claiming smart phones will replace pcs, go try and type an essay, play a AAA game, browse the internet with multiple tabs, music and discord on all at once on an iphone.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoAmazon doesn't have to compete with AMD on performance, only on TCO. Not having to pay Jim Keller's salary is a good way to reduce your TCO. Graviton generally does win on TCO for most applications today. Also, if 30% of x86 market share corresponds to ~20% of "big processor" market share, that means that non-x86 cores have about 30% market share. European companies are discovering the same thing, too. They have embraced ARM and RISC-V very strongly.
