Our processor tech's got legs, says Arm: 'One million' data center servers will ship in 2018

Analysis One million Arm-powered data center servers will ship in 2018, the processor design house claimed on Tuesday.By servers, the Softbank-owned biz means machines that perform networking, storage, and security workloads for other systems running virtual machines and application code. Arm, like AMD, really wants to get its CPU cores into data center compute servers to etch away at the Intel's vast and lucrative Xeon monopoly. For now, this is a start Arm feels is worth boasting."When people ask me what my server market share is, I say: I'm patient," said Drew Henry, senior veep of Arm's infrastructure business unit, on Tuesday at the Arm TechCon conference. "I'm confident we'll succeed."
