How can №1 SPARC manufacturer allow it?

Oh, wait it's a1100 which announced in 2014 ?

What they planned to do with it?
Overpriced Cisco/Juniper 10 GB routers?

>>52407864
Who is doing A72s in embedded/networking/NAS/server?

>>52407864
Its a cool platform but there is really no market for it so it wasn't pushed out very fast. I assume we will see cooler stuff if the reaction to this is good. This would be a pretty powerful platform for hosting webservers.

>>52408324
It's for servers.

>>52408125
Yeah, they've been available since then too, Most all of these slides have been public since then as well. This isn't anything new, they're just giving a presentation on it to try and drum up hype.
The only notable thing about it is that its ARM. Xeon Ds absolutely destroy it in performance and perf/watt. Though if a someone was interested in investing in ARM and wanted to start with a small rack to flesh out their software, then this is pretty much the only approachable starting point.

>>52408667
Nobody.

>up to 128GB system memory
>data center
Is this a fucking joke?

>>52408771
128GB per socket isn't bad, genius.

>>52408800
Yes it is

Fucking four year old Dell G7s do better than that

Everyone is using this and it CRUSHES A57 in performance

>>52408800
Xeon's integrated MMUs handle up to 1.5TB.
This is basically equivalent to a Xeon E3.

>doesn't understand anything at all

Hilarious how motherfucking stupid the average poster is here. This is a low TDP chip for small dense clusters, it is not a Xeon suited for HPC, or any other extreme workloads. Its fitting a niche, and 128GB per socket is nothing to scoff at.

>>52408755
>Xeon Ds absolutely destroy it in performance and perf/watt
Xeon?
Even ancient Athlon 64/Pentium 4 can annihilated it in performance/watt.

How much will they be?
If they're around 199 with a board I'm interested.

>>52410336
Not a chance. The only A57 hardware I've seen for sale (aside from actual phones) are dev boards for the Snapdragon ($500), the AppliedMicro X-Gene ($1500-$2500), and the Cavium ThunderX ($6000+).

I'd really like to build an ARM desktop (just for the hell of it, basically) but I don't want to shell out thousands just to get tolerable performance.

>>52410552
Why would you want an ARM desktop?

>>52410915
'cuz he's edgy.

ARM needs to die already. This meme has plagued us long enough.
