   Merchant ARM server is mostly dead unfortunately. Hyperscalers like AWS are making their own SoCs in house however. Amazona acquired Annapurna labs for that purpose. Personally I see there being more market overlap between ARM and the P550

   No, the area numbers quoted are for TSMC N7. You can look up comparable A75 die area numbers for N7 as well. A Cortex A76 on TSMC N7 takes up 1.27mm with L2 included. A P550 takes up 0.38mm.

   The P550 core in the title is actually a 3 way issue OOO core with near A76 performance, but fair point on the dev boards. Hopefully Intel's dev board or some alternative will provide a lower cost option.
