Recently, as the communication and multimedia industry development chip system and based on the ARM and ARM instruction set compatible application processor qualcomm, announced last Friday that will design the server level ARM solutions. The announcement also means that the company add several manufacturers for micro server this emerging market competition in the wave.
It is reported, qualcomm is currently looking for this and to "for power optimization server market qualcomm new ARMv8 based on server SoC ASIC structure/system design"
ARMv8 is an server level of ARM64 bit structure, has the blog, can satisfy the common enterprise application of high expansion and high performance. And the ARMv8 compatible kernel, including designed for low power consumption using Cortex - A53 and high performance requirements and design of Cortex - A57.
Up to now, qualcomm is at least the eighth house based on ARM server development SoC chip system company, other also includes AMD, Applied Micro, Cavium, Calxeda, Marvell, Nvidia and samsung. It is expected the first 64 architecture ARMv8 chip will be launched in 2014.
