Global shipments last ARM server chip only accounts for less than 1%, still far behind with up to nine still into Intel x86 server chip city accounted for. ARM and vice President of investor relations of enterprise marketing Ian Thornton said ARM server chip technology and software ecosystem is not mature enough ARM server since the two big main reason is still not high.
Although the ARM chip market in recent years, those who show a positive server's attempt to heart, even last year also kua grandiloquence under 5 years to win 2 into server market, but in 2015, according to ARM's latest revenue report suggests that last year global delivery ARM server chip only accounts for less than 1%, still far behind with up to nine still into Intel x86 server chip city accounted for.
Although this 2 years ARM success wooing chip, the hardware system, software application such as partners, make the server market started to lock data center application of 32 bits, 64 bits ARM server products. Such as HP launched by using 64 bit ARM ProLiant m400 server, ADM also released its first 64 bits ARM server processor, etc. But still relatively few large companies started using ARM architecture server in the data center.
ARM and vice President of investor relations of enterprise marketing Ian Thornton said ARM server chip technology and software ecosystem is not mature enough ARM server since the two big main reason is still not high. And is not a short time can set up the whole ecosystem of reason, he explained, from a chip industry development ARM chip to complete production, usually need 2 ~ 3 years, even if the new chip after launch, server manufacturers to adopt, most of the time, will encounter many software without law support, then have to find more hardware system, software application vendors to join, to gradually expand the whole ecosystem. It is not just a few short years to achieve, but have to take 10 years to complete. "And the ARM just walk to a half, will is the key to the outcome in the next five years." He said.
Ian Thornton also revealed the new progress of the development of the ARM server, in addition to AMD, qualcomm, Broadcom, haisi semiconductor manufacturers have production ARM server chips, some of the side of cloud providers are in the center of the data for the various business and software system using ARM server test work, and even a few cloud service providers have begun early ARM server deployment. This year, he said, also will have more cloud vendors join deployment.
Although the ARM in the server failed to respond to market so far, but in netcom is obtained the good market development, ARM netcom processor shipments last year's global city accounted for 15%, Ian Thornton, said the next the company also plans to launch more powerful processors, in response to future 5 g is the new change of the telecommunications network, including increased CNC equipment high load, low latency, and plenty of IoT device networking capabilities, the ARM at the same time also with several CNC manufacturers cooperation, in the network equipment using ARM 64 bits ARMv8 - A framework with the latest technology to launch new products.
