ARM Holding confident in their ability to win even a small but steadily growing share of the server market. Intel company, is not particularly scared by this threat , and AMD already hard preparing to begin deliveries of processors Seattle serial server class design using ARM. NVIDIA and Samsung initiatives of server processors with ARM architecture was abandoned.
A major manufacturer of server equipment in the face of Dell, as reports Computerworld, assesses the prospects of the market ARM-servers ambiguous. On one hand, Dell ready to continue the existing work. On the other hand, note that the long-term training to enter the respective processors affect the whole idea is detrimental, as competing solutions gradually tightened by the energy consumption level. Servers Producers have not so many arguments in favor of ARM-architecture, because it involves migration and at great expense.
First of all, the development of new processors and server systems require additional funds. Secondly, you need to create compatible software infrastructure, and this is one of the main problems. Typically, the license fees levied on each processor core, and when they are in the ARM-server will be many, the cost of the software will grow proportionately. All this complicates the early introduction of server systems with ARM-architecture. Potential customers now evaluated, whether all contact with the platform when the x86-compatible products lose energy consumption and increase performance.
