I’ve often opined that ARM V8 server SOC’s would struggle to meet Intel Xeon head-on until a) appliedmicro_x_gene-1200x794they get a few micro-architecture revisions under their belts to improve per-core performance, and b) they can narrow the manufacturing gap to 14/16 nm, or perhaps even 10 nm. Now, Applied Micro is aiming to do just that with the X-Gene 3.
