SOFTBANK support ARM into the Chamber-ARM after Intel, Softbank, Intel, Intel-IT information
Recently, Japan SOFTBANK Group announced a $ 32 billion to buy United Kingdom ARM chip design company, the merger shocked the industry, SOFTBANK will take ownership of the future mobile Internet devices the most central ARM core architecture and chip design.
In the field of mobile phone chips, ARM has achieved comparable to Intel's monopoly in the PC market that year , ARM has been prepare server processor breakthroughs in the field and shake Intel's advantage in this area. A few days ago, the Nikkei pointed out that SOFTBANK's acquisition and support will help ARM field the server expansion.
In the field of mobile processors, less heat, than processing performance is more important than power consumption, beat which ARM architecture to Intel's x86, as the world's de facto standard for mobile processors. Intel launched Atom Processor once for market share is very sad but after subsequent upgrades of Intel has stopped the atom project is considered completely exit the mobile phone chip market.
But as the server processor (the so-called "chip data centers"), Intel is still the undisputed Overlord , accounted for 99% of the. Statistics show last year, the global server processor ARM architecture, market share only a poor 1%.
According to technology consulting firm IDC forecasts the market in 2016, global server processor market will reach US $ 110 billion over the next five years, annual growth rates of up to 5% to 10%.
In new wave of next-generation technology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing has become a hot, which needs strong server processors and data centers as a base.
United Kingdom ARM companies, no longer satisfied with the dominance of the mobile chip market, began targeting the server processor field. As early as 2012, the company launched 64 chip design scenarios, is ready to provide low-power solution for server, challenges Intel's dominance.
And similar to mobile chips, ARM is not produced to server chip, but core architecture, as well as related reference design mandates to external companies, including Qualcomm, AMD and other companies.
Earlier this year, AMD introduced its first 64-bit processor ARM Server "Opteron A1100", aimed primarily at the data center market.
Qualcomm has become a global byword for high-end mobile processors, the company also plans to develop the server processor. Earlier, Qualcomm and China's Guizhou Provincial Government signed the agreement, set up a joint venture company to develop data center ARM processor, Qualcomm, ARM Server chips will be in 2017.
According to media reports, China's Huawei company had earlier launched a mature ARM mobile processor "Hass series", the company also has a mature Server business, Huawei also prepare server processor ARM architecture.
软银撑腰，ARM欲杀入英特尔后庭 - ARM,软银,英特尔,Intel - IT资讯
近日，日本软银集团宣布斥资320亿美元收购英国芯片设计公司ARM，这一并购震惊了科技行业，未来软银将会掌控移动互联网设备最为核心的ARM核心架构和芯片设计方案。
在手机芯片领域，ARM已经实现了堪比英特尔当年在电脑市场的垄断地位，ARM一直准备向服务器处理器领域突破，撼动英特尔目前在这一领域的优势。日前，日经新闻指出，软银的收购和支持，将有助于ARM在服务器领域的扩张。
在手机处理器领域，发热量、功耗比相比处理性能更加重要，而ARM架构在这些方面击败了英特尔的x86架构，成为全世界手机处理器的事实标准。英特尔曾经推出凌动处理器争夺市场，但是表现十分凄惨，此前英特尔已经停止了凌动的后续升级计划，被认为彻底退出了手机芯片市场。
但是在服务器处理器（所谓的“数据中心芯片”）领域，英特尔仍然是毋庸置疑的霸主，占到了99%的份额。据统计去年，全球ARM架构的服务器处理器，市场份额只有可怜的1%。
根据科技市场咨询公司IDC预测，2016年，全球服务器处理器市场规模将达到1100亿美元，而在未来五年内，每年增长率可达5%到10%。
在下一代科技新浪潮中，人工智能、机器学习、云计算成为热点，而这些技术都需要强劲的服务器处理器和数据中心作为基础。
英国ARM公司，早已不满足于在移动芯片市场的霸主地位，开始瞄准服务器处理器领域。早在2012年，该公司推出的64为芯片设计参考方案中，就已经准备为服务器提供低功耗解决方案，挑战英特尔垄断地位。
和移动芯片类似，ARM不会亲自生产服务器芯片，而是把相关的核心架构以及参考设计方案授权给外部企业，其中包括高通公司、AMD等公司。
今年初，AMD公司推出了第一款64位ARM服务器处理器“皓龙A1100”，主要瞄准数据中心芯片市场。
高通已经成为全球高端手机处理器的代名词，该公司也在计划开发服务器处理器。此前，高通和中国贵州省政府签署了协议，成立了一家合资公司开发数据中心ARM处理器，高通表示，ARM服务器芯片将会在2017年上市。
另据媒体报道，中国华为公司早前已经推出成熟的ARM移动处理器“海思系列”，该公司也拥有成熟的服务器业务，华为也准备开发ARM架构的服务器处理器。
