I don’t think ARM can even last so long years, because you can’t be long if you are not number 1. It is what comes with number 2.
ARM in software is very big problem, & hardware is too big, too. Just deeper idea is that arm has stopped in 3 to 2 last years in progress, hoped progress of fabs bring A SMALL advance for them, & ARM can’t succeed EVEN W %100 performance/watts up, seriously so…
Just I think companies go ARM for price war, no other reason can drive success, & for it, they have better than them ATOM. Quality? lol,,, that’s a problem in server really if you want to beat mission critical xeon….. Hard job in High Performance server jobs…

Thanks!

The Scaleway machines are not using 64-bit processors, but look like a cool design. When do you plan to have 64-bit and what one do you plan to adopt?

Works great.

So to squeeze more performance out people look for different turn-wheels and knobs.

But I still have doubts that their micro-architecture can actually squeeze more performance out per Watt than x86. So far there is hasn’t been any solid proof that this is the case.

But if someone is really keen to enter and dominate the server market in the next decade he has to look at the next big thing that replaces the current silicon paradigm or find a total new way of computing (reversible computing would be a good example)
