The first time ARM promised its CPUs would show up in servers was in 2008, but, since then, none of its partners have made any move to act on this plan. This is, most likely, due to the low frequencies that such chips reach, compared to x86 processors from Intel or Advanced Micro Devices. Intel, in particular, has be... |
