Post# of 17650
ARM chips are used in microservers, which the ARM camp has been pushing hard due to their low power consumption. Power costs is the biggest cost element in datacenters. In fact, it's estimated that datacenters consume roughly 5% of the world's total power.
hybrid Processor-FPGA chips that were based on ARM architecture
Marrying FPGAs with processors has been shown to increase performance dramatically while increasing power consumption only marginally.
