How 64-bit ARM Processor servers trending?

When a company called Calexda closed its operations, it was a setback for 64-bit ARM processor architecture based server development. Calexda was a startup fully focusing on ARM 64 bit, but there were some-what better established semiconductor vendors who have also started designing server chips using 64-bit ARM processor architecture. Now you can buy a Linux enterprise server from multiple vendors running on a ARM 64-bit processor core powered by Applied Micro's X-gene server chips which can run on Linux versions from multiple vendors. The latest one to support 64-bit ARM server processors is SUSE. Red Hat and Ubuntu are already supporting 64-bit ARM Processor cores. There's plenty of analysis reported online comparing Intel's Xeon versus ARM 64-bit server chips. Our overall finding is ARM 64-bit server chips are closing the gap with Intel's Xeon members in some specific applications of servers. However Intel is offering power and performance advantage to its customers by making the chips in nodes such as 14 nm, whereas the ARM 64-bit server chip vendors such as Applied Micro and Cavium are still with 28 nm nodes. Since the foundries such as TSMC, Globalfoundries and Samsung are offering 16 nm and 14 nm processes in production mode, it helps these ARM 64-bit fabless companies to compete better with Intel. 22nm FDSOI from Globalfoundries m...
