ARM "servers" are a dream .

Intel has killed off scores of other server class processors : MIPS, Power PC , Sparc; at HP, IBM .. Oracle ... simply due to the incredible hardware costs of maintaining and developing new platforms . The Big Iron companies hate having to pay Intel for server chips .. but they hate even more creating new platforms, so they are test driving ARM to keep some sort of R&D spirit alive ... but in the end when the final $$ tally is done they will all resort to mass produced , sweat shop manufactured garbage from China built on Intel reference schematics .. Just keep adding NUMA sockets !
