We will return today to the topic of studying not the most fresh but still interesting AMD road maps in the development of server processors, but for now, I would like to remind the reader that the company's management had been thinking about the possibility of creating server processors with ARM architecture last September , Transparently hinting that now the priority is the development of a line of x86-compatible processors for server applications.
According to the author of the analytical material on the pages of the resource Seeking Alpha , for AMD it would be better to finally say goodbye to the idea of releasing ARM-compatible server processors. In fact, Qualcomm is advancing in this direction in proud solitude, but this giant can afford different experiments, in contrast to the limited in the resources AMD company . The leadership of the latter never tires of repeating that investments in the development of new products should be focused.
The author of the publication believes that the failure of AMD to try to develop new processors with ARM architecture for the server segment would allow the company to save up to $ 25 million. Approximately $ 10 million would have to be for licensing and developer fees, another $ 5 million would be freed from payment Services GlobalFoundries. If you consider that last year AMD completed with a $ 497 million loss, a reduction of this amount by $ 25 million would be a good help for the company. This month, AMD representatives will take part in industry events with the involvement of analysts, so the topic of using processors with ARM architecture in the server segment is sure to be affected.
