Qualcomm's server processor

                                     One of the biggest processor manufacturer is "INTEL", even though gaming pc's are intel powered the main profit of the intel is depends on server processors named as"xeon".the second largest processor manufacturer in the world is "AMD"(amd also released "ryzen" processors which you can refer in our previous article).

                                     Qualcomm's is the most leading smartphone Soc (system on a chip). Nearly every android phones are powered by qualcomm.Qualcomm is now stepping in to productions of  server processor .the main disadvantages in smartphones are heating management of Soc.

                                      But in servers we don't need to take care of it because many companies are investing large amount of money for cooling the servers.

                                      At early 2016 android & ios are the only operating system available in arm based processor but recent announcement of microsoft of making windows 10 for arm based processor (which you can refers in our previous article).

        There are four powerful forces that are fundamentally reshaping the data center landscape.

FIRST

                       The way servers are purchased and consumed is changing dramatically as a result of cloud computing, and this is reflected in the momentum of   cloud adoption  continues  The latest IDC data suggests that by 2020, almost 50% of the IT spend or deployments will be cloud-based.

SECOND

                     This migration to a cloud model has also created a major power shift in the supply chain, with mega datacenters sourcing server platforms directly   from ODMs.

THIRD

                       Most datacenter software is based on open source software projects. This enables Qualcomm, as well as other ARM ecosystem partners, to work   within these open source projects to implement support for ARMv8.

 FOURTH     and more important than others which is nothing but  the pace of manufacturing process evolution is now being driven by mobile as opposed to PCs. Over the past few years, as PC volumes have declined, mobile volumes have exploded past 1.4B units per year providing a powerful incentive for foundries to drive faster to next-generation process nodes.

                             Our expertise and experience has helped Qualcomm to change the world. Back in August, Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of QUALCOMM Incorporated,   introduced "Qualcomm Centriq", a new family of ARM-based processors to address the needs of today’s datacenter.

                              A little over a year after seeding the industry with   early prototypes, we’re taking it a step further. Today, we’re excited to announce the Qualcomm Centriq 2400, the world’s first server processor built on a 10 -nanometer process node.

                              This revolutionary processor is purpose-built for performance-oriented datacenter applications. As the first in the Qualcomm Centriq product family, the Qualcomm Centriq 2400 series has up to 48 cores. It features a Qualcomm Falkor CPU — our custom ARMv8 CPU core that’s optimized for server-class workloads. The Falkor CPU is the result of generations of CPU design expertise combined with talent from throughout the server industry.

                               We understand the importance of a healthy software ecosystem in the datacenter. As such, Falkor was designed from Day 1 to be SBSA compliant, which ensures that software that runs on any ARMv8 server platform would also be able to run on a Qualcomm Centriq 2400-based server platform (and vice-versa).

Earlier this week, there is a industrial event where the demonstration of new processor has made. The software development platform ran a typical data center application configured with Linux, Java, and Apache Spark.

The Qualcomm Centriq 2400 processor is now available for sampling for pre defined users, and  it will be commercially available in the Q2 2017.

                      As we said in previous blog we can expect more arm based system, what do you think about it ? .
