I'll be honest, when I first saw the bottom picture I thought "Wow, thats a huge chip..."'
I didn't sleep very much last night and that's the excuse I'm sticking to!
Seems a bit of a content free press release that.
48 cores, usually that would be for a VM farm which throws up lots of questions, like how much RAM can you plug in, virtualisation support.
Can't see it turning up on a Raspberry Pi clone any time soon though, so I'm probably out.
Aren't Arm servers still a niche thing, many have tried before and not been able to make a dent, way too much software reliant on x86 to make it worthwhile.
Samsung will probably put 2 of them in the Galaxy S9....
It hasn't really been tried in a big way, HP Moonshot blades are the only things that really spring to mind.Quote:

Don't worry, it wasn't just you :)Quote:

But I think it will be reserved for OEMs and there will be no motherboard for DIY to buy.
