Ex-Chipzilla exec Arms biz to SoC it to Intel in the data centre

AMD, Qualcomm, etc...

This post seemed like a fairly boring ARM offering. Either due to the unknown brand, underwhelming specs or whatever else, this seems like little more than simply repackaging generic ARM cores.

AMD if they’d have followed through on ARM may have been interesting. Qualcomm was interesting and still may be, but they don’t seem to care about getting their stuff out there.

My company is already dumping big iron in favor of highly distributed SoCs for “serverless computing”.

By the time these guys ship and find a distribution channel, the world will be either x86 big iron, public cloud or distributed smaller systems. 32 core ARM CPUs don’t really fit anywhere. It’s far better to have 3x4 or 8 core CPU.

I suppose they think there’s a place where people want to rewrite and/or recompile their systems without any consideration for quality of their code.
