octeon stuff is getting used in networking gear, and it's great in that role and AMD is working on x86/arm hybrid cpus for DC use i think their devkit is arm only atm http://www.amd.com/en-us/press-releases/Pages/64-bit-developer-kit-2014jul30.aspx Several parties have made noise about ARM use in DC's, but the question is how likely is it that those will catch on and become mainstream? depends on whether people can find a reason why arm would be better suited for certain applications than x86 http://www.anandtech.com/show/7989/amd-announces-project-skybridge-pincompatible-arm-and-x86-socs-in-2015 this is the hybrid stuff more for embedded use, designed to allow you to select x86 or arm socs and the newer ones will include a gcn (radeon) gpu too heh, like I said, making noise, but how's adoption going? no production capacity yet so i'd say..slow? the server-based one is only available in devkit form so, again, slow because it's not widely available yet and it's expensive in devkit form ($3k) haha, apparently arista gear doesn't do any kind of image verification when you're flashing updated system software and will boot loop if the image is corrupted Ooh nice I met a guy that worked for Arista @ Defcon >.> yeah, my buddy found that out this morning <.< That's my Arista story. they use arista for their SAN switches Storage is overrated. If your data isn't ephemeral, you're doing it wrong.(TM) major rev bump included some fpga updates, which the switch would apply, then reboot, then apply then reboot over and over lol https://i.imgur.com/eW429ss.jpg I don't know about you, but I want very little to do with /other/ PHP users. My PHP is fine. Others... mostly suck. i think superman agrees with you hahahaha haha that img is cool :) Wheee time for 10.0-RELEASE-p8
