Power imperative favors ARM'S client-to-server play

摘要

The Eagle is due to land in silicon in time to be in products for the holiday-buying season of 2012, said Eric Schorn, vice president of marketing for ARM processors. And it has been received pretty well by analysts and journalists, although there has been some skepticism about whether one design can span applications from smartphones to servers. ARM executives have stressed the power-saving efforts that have been made while achieving a fivefold performance increase. At the same time, a migration to 32/28-nanometer technology should yield a maximum clock frequency of 2.5 GHz.
