AMD Announced their Opteron A1100 series Seattle processor today.

4x registered DDR3 DIMM slots
8x SATA 3 ports

I wanted to see what everyone thinks about this versus the Intel Atom C2750.

Main site post mis-schedule on my part: AMD A1100 ARM Server CPU v. Intel Atom C2750 Avoton comparison.

Added a new table feature. Would love feedback on content and on that table.

It is still vaporware until I get one but looks promising.

Q4’2014 + real availability time = what? Jan 2015? ..

I read this will use UEFI vs U-Boot as most ARM based SoCs. More like regular desktop, will be interesting if this leads to AMD desktop ARM chips, would be an interesting replacement to the AMD E-Series.

Arm chips wont be a viable replacement for a while.....

but microsoft and the surface RT have helped!


might be neat for a business though.... VDI + dumb Arm clients... yummy

 

[MiniKnight]

I think the model is going to just be Wyse like sticks that are dumb ARM clients. Windows RT may be a costly way to make a dumb vdi client

To me it sound like it could be interesting to use as a firewall appliance and/or router.
Would be nice to see how it will be priced, 10gig usually isn't cheap.
