ARM’s 64-bit dreams

History is repeating itself. ARM is essentially gonna be the second incarnation of the Cyrix Processor. :(
 
All I'm saying is, they should stick to what they're good at, and not try
to compete with forces that could easily put them out of business. ;)

Its amazing how ARM processors have entered the market and become so popular simply because of their power efficiency.

They actually have been around for a long time, but yes recently it has been widely published.

Some backdated news:
ARM licensed about 1.6 billion cores in 2005. In 2005, about 1 billion ARM cores went into mobile phones

So I reckon ARM could well dominate mobile solutions or even small server demands,
 
ARM will dominate the mobile solutions market, as well as the embedded market for quite a while.

I find their data center aspirations intriguing to say the least... I can think of many instances where they type of load and work that a server would do would be perfectly suited to an ARM type setup and it obviously draws less power so thats a good thing...
 
Should get interesting with nVidia and Intel also joining the party.

Healthy competition drives innovation.

And how does this imaginary scenario play out that puts them out of business?
 
Any tablets or mobile phones with anywhere close to 3GB ram yet?
 
ARM is good for steeping into the PC processor market. I don't know if they will be able to reach the standards of Intel Processors which use less power than AMD and produced far better results than AMD. If AMD is not reaching intel standards, where will ARM lie??
 
ARM is aiming for a completely different market to Intel...

Even Intel are unable to match ARM after actively trying to get to similar types of setups.
 
ARM has changed my life :) what about nvidia's mobile processors? Competition for ARM?
 
Am I correct in understanding that ARM dont actually manufacture chips? They simply design them and then license them out to companies like Intel and Samsung etc?

Yes that's correct.
