Description
The ARM-based server business is real and we are now seeing the first fruits from early adopters. The Applied Micro X-Gene SoC server processor is the first 64-bit ARM server processor in production and it is showing competitive performance and lower cost of ownership than traditional server deployments for the same function. A recent post for ARM’s earnings on a PayPal deployment and tests by Applied Micro show how X-Gene systems can offer an alternative to standard Intel Xeon server systems today. This white paper is an introduction to the X-Gene processor and how it competes against against Intel Xeon processors for scale-out workloads
