AMD company representative confirmed that, along with the x86-compatible architecture, AMD is going to use other solutions in one product. This strategy is the development of new processor is called symmetric.
The balanced strategy involves the development of marketable solutions. The flexibility sought by the company, will adjust the instruction set architecture (ISA) manufactured products to the needs of specific customers that will allow AMD to better compete with Intel.
Analysts suggest that AMD will test a new approach to server processors on a single chip combining both x86-compatible core, and a block with ARM architecture (or any other matter). But the move from Sunnyvale company will not have a major impact on the development of traditional server market in the near future, as business customers are generally characterized by conservatism. Thus, before the idea of using the processor, combining fundamentally different architectures, settle down, will be a relatively long time.
AMD's success will largely depend on the companies involved in the supply of server equipment.
