The current server is basically monopolized by X86 (Complex Instruction Set) chip makers such as Intel and AMD, etc. However, with the rise of smartphones, more and more chip makers are starting to develop server chips based on ARM (Isometric Instruction Set) Qualcomm, AMD have released based on ARM architecture server chip.
Ampere
In addition to two well-known companies, AMD and Qualcomm, Ampere, a new chip company run by former Intel president Renee James, today introduced an ARM-based server chip for ultra-large data centers.It is understood that Ampere's customized Armv8- A 64-bit server operating frequency of 3.3GHz, 1TB memory consumption of 125 watts, other specifications are not released.Renee James did not disclose the price of the chip, at the same time declined to disclose any customer's name, but partners include Microsoft , Lenovo and Oracle and other companies.
cloud service
Nowadays, cloud computing and storage have become the new direction for the development of science and technology in the future, so more and more chips are targeted at cloud computing and cloud storage.Of course, Intel's X86 platform is still very strong and the integrated chip industry can make It continues to be of sufficient size, but future market erosion is inevitable.
