There’s more gloomy news for chip giant Intel.
A report by Digitimes Research estimates that a total of 20,000 units of ARM-based servers ship this year. And while that’s hardly made a dent in Chipzilla’s armour yet, only representing 0.2 percent of that market, that’s set to change.
By 2017 the volume will grow to 1.06 million with a CAGR of 170 percent.
ARM itself thinks that by 2016, chips based on its technology with account for five to 10 percent while that percentage will grow to 10 or 15 points by 2017.
A lot depends, according to Digitimes Research, on support from Microsoft on the Windows Server front.
