ARM Server Chip - For Real

You heard it here 4 years ago - ARM Server Chip.

A few quotes from Fujitsu...

When was the last time you heard nice things about SPARC Linux?

Fujitsu chose 64-bit ARM CPU cores for its upcoming exascale supercomputer for two reasons: Linux and the ability to customize its own processors.

[Fujitsu] chose ARM over SPARC due to ARM's larger and healthier software ecosystem.

ARM has the best software ecosystem for us.

And you thought Intel and Sun ruled the world.
