Applied Micro Circuit‘s CEO Paramesh Gopi is convinced that the company’s new ARM chip is the replacement for the current server. The product takes up very little room and uses less electricity than competitors like Intel and AMD x86 servers. Most data centers utilize the Intel and AMD products but as data grows, these huge data centers take up a lot of a companies resources. That is why the efficiency provided by the ARM chip is making waves in the sector.
Gopi explains that, “For companies like Facebook and Google, the P&L is a function of electricity cost.” That is why firms including Applied Micro, Calxeda, Dell, Rackspace, Red Hat, HP are all looking to make deals with Gopi for his ARM chip.
The buzz surrounding the chip heated up after Applied Micro Circuit revealed their 64-bit server at the Open Compute Summit. In a press release, Gopi spoke about the new server-on-a-chip and said, “The X-Gene platform is designed to deliver unprecedented low power, high performance and integration, with the goal of changing the way servers are designed for cloud and enterprise applications. This purpose-built server on a chip and open source software deliver the cost efficiency, power and performance needed to serve evolving data center workloads. And, with X-Gene silicon slated to sample to key customers this quarter, an ARM 64-bit server motherboard design has the potential to reach the data center by the end of this year.”
