There's a couple of patently untrue statements inside the press release, like "As the first organization in the world to leverage ARM servers for commercial use...", but the move is another sign of the growth of ARM servers. To me, the real piece of information is near the bottom, "ower the total cost of ownership by 25 percent, compared with previous x86-based server solutions", this is where Intel's challenge really is. It's not about performance, or even about Watts consumed, it's about the money spent to operate a service, from the very bottom of the stack where electricity is consumed, through the management of the application layer. Server hardware is going to cost a lot less in the next couple of years, and Intel are going to have to work out how they can make money in this new environment, whether that's through going all out on low end kit, or moving up the management layer.
