Are they building it on their own or planning to acquire some firm doing this?

I hope they start using a fixed continuous current like 24V to be easily connected to a CC no-break.

I’m waiting for my Phi briefing actually :) Intel’s been pushing that for HPC and I think of HPC having a need for fast IO and brawny cores, which is a different market than AMD/ARM (although not APUs).

You are right. I did not mention Nvidia although I don’t recall if they are doing something with ARM in servers. I’m aware of Tegra on the handset and Kepler using GPUs for servers. Did I miss something?

You forgot Nvidia,they are very much into ARM servers too,just ,maybe, more under the radar for now but they are one of the few players with their own GPU and that can be an asset( not to mention that they are investing in a custom core).

Stacey, good work as always. I’d be interested in hearing more of your thoughts on how ‘competitive’ this move truly is given Intel’s work with Xeon Phi / MIC.
