IT'S HAPPENING, FOLKS!
Windows Server on ARM: It's happening

Noice. So how many decades until we get single ARM chips capable of over 3 TFLOPS of FP64 while consuming less than 300W and can run x86 software without a performance penalty?
Alexander Hughes
x86 is FINISHED AND BANKRUPT
Windows 10 on ARM supports win32 emulation, so expect normies to start switching to ARM laptops because they'll be marketed as being cheaper and having better battery life in slimmer, sexier form factors. ARM will take over the server market because moar cores + less power consumption. The only market that will use x86 in the future is work stations and gaymers.

>run x86 software
For what purpose does it need to be x86?
Hunter Garcia
Tru. I forgot that 99.99999% of widely used proprietary server software was written for ARM processors.
Silly me.
Parker Morgan
>proprietary server software
Okay.
Logan Ortiz
linux has run on arm for decades

Is this relevant? Even C can compile to both x86 and ARM.
As long as you're not an assembly programmer (lel) or an intel jew this doesn't matter.

Any ARM related stocks to buy?
Jayden Hernandez
I don't know shit about stocks tho
Henry Garcia
Neither do so-called experts.
Stocks = Gambling.
Everyone who thinks otherwise are deluded morons.
Jackson Young
but the finest french engineers start at 200k / year in trading companies, there must be some way
Christopher Bennett
Softbank moved its %25 ARM stake to its Saudi fund. Wait for news on that.
Alexander Moore
>Windows server
Those dozen people will be ecstatic.
Logan Green
>Xeon Phi
It's a fucking barrel processor, it's not general-purpose, you can't program it the same way as any other x86 CPU if you don't want abysmal performance. At best, it's a janky GPGPU competitor.
Liam Williams
stay poor faggit
Luke Cruz
Azure has a lot of customers.
Jeremiah Ward
What about IIS and SQL Server?
Mason Reed
Everything I've read specifically mentions Qualcomm only. It's fucking nothing.
