And that is why Calxeda is now dead.
Also: AMD doesn't just have a partnership with SeaMicro, they bought them back in 2012.
- dragontamer 12y agoI know. My point is that the title of "First ARM Server" has already been taken. And frankly, "First" is a dubious advantage. For ARM systems to be competitive, they must deliver power, performance, and cost-efficiency beyond Intel Xeons (including the new Intel Atom line of Xeons). Otherwise, x86 dominance in the datacenter will continue. These ARM servers are interesting and all... but honestly, a Dell Poweredge seems to deliver much more at a lower cost. Brand-new Poweredge Racks are as low as $700 (R220), Poweredge Xeons start at $1000. So what is a fair price for an X-Gene? If its anything more than $400, I'm thinking the old Intel solution will be superior. (Even a Celeron will outperform an ARM)
