ARM and x86, only one can be left.
Some people may laugh at the author's ignorance when they see this sentence. The architecture of ARM and x86 is very different. Both of them play an important role in the embedded fields such as mobile phones and set-top boxes. One is in the PC and server field, and they are irreplaceable in their respective fields. It is hard to believe that either of them will disappear.
However, ARM and x86 are essentially computing chips. Calculations are already undergoing profound changes.
Just think, when people can access the Internet through the TV, can use the tablet to write reports and generate reports, can use mobile phones to send and receive e-mail, the PC is still necessary to exist?
“Related work has been started and system designers are actively considering the ARM architecture. Of course, we will not unrealistically expect to see multiple ARM servers in 2011.†In 2010, ARM CEO Warren East stated that by 2014 In the year, ARM-based servers will begin to erode the market share of x86.
In fact, at the beginning of ARM's founding, the goal was to target the PC market. It was only because of the pressure of business that it exited the competition in the PC market and turned to an authorized business model.
At the same time, the x86 camp is not idle.
Intel has been infiltrating into the embedded space in the past two years. Atom's processor transformation, acquisition of Wind River, and development of MeeGo have formed a complete layout in the embedded field.
AMD has been reluctant for many years and has finally launched an APU that combines the CPU and GPU. According to AMD, the upcoming new processor can provide excellent graphics computing power at 9 watts of power consumption. This makes it more promising for mobile devices.
To sum up, both camps are ready and a war is coming.
The key point is that until now, the two parties are still in a phase of mutual penetration. When will this war break out formally? 2011 may be a good time.
Unlike companies in the x86 camp, ARM does not have a factory and does not sell chips. It simply delegates its own technology to other partners and charges a small amount of licensing fees. This has led to ARM's revenues being not alarming, despite the huge shipments of ARM chips. At the same time, its expansion has also been completely accomplished by its partners. Freescale, STMicroelectronics, Samsung and Apple are the giants of ARM's expansion. With the efforts of these partners, ARM has achieved an unmatched position in the mobile phone and other fields.
However, the predecessors of ARM's partners are not in the PC and server areas. Failure to rush into unfamiliar areas is the only way for large companies to avoid financial fluctuations in commercial competition.
Therefore, on the one hand, ARM has benefited from its own business model and has occupied a part of the market with the power of its partners. On the other hand, it is limited by the partners' ideas and cannot freely enter a new field.
However, in 2010, ARM deepened its cooperation with two important partners. The markets they are familiar with are precisely PCs and servers. They are NVIDIA and Microsoft.
At this year's GPU high-performance computing summit, NVIDIA president Huang Renxun publicly stated that the future of the server will form ARM, x86 and GPU three points of the world.
In 2010, the distance between Microsoft and ARM continued to narrow. In mid-2010, Microsoft and ARM signed a licensing agreement that "expanded the relationship between the two companies." ARM said that Microsoft has obtained the highest level of authorization from ARM, and Microsoft said that the new licensing agreement will greatly strengthen Microsoft's R & D capabilities for ARM-based products. Sure enough, just after half a year, it broke the news that Microsoft will show support for ARM's operating system at CES 2011.
The presence of Apple also brought variables to the ARM battle. By starting with the PC and relying on consumer electronics to establish an industry status, Apple has been able to launch a refreshing product. The device between the traditional PC and the mobile device is exactly the beachhead battle between ARM and x86. Tablet PC is such a product. Which side will Apple eventually prefer? Only Jobs knows.

Microsoft will launch the ARM version system In the middle of this year, Microsoft and ARM signed a licensing agreement. Does Microsoft also have to do processors? This agreement can not help but imagine people. At the end of the year, it suddenly broke out that Microsoft would display the ARM version of the Windows operating system at CES. This is undoubtedly a blockbuster. It can be said that Windows dominates the current PC field, and also plays an important role in the server field. If Windows 8 really supports ARM, what does it mean?
NVIDIA seeks to break the board among the top three chip vendors in the PC space. Although it has taken off in the graphics processor market, and with CUDA in the field of high-performance computing to kill a new road, but compared with the other two, without their own CPU is the soft underbelly of its competition, which even let NVIDIA's chip Group business is also affected. The launch of Tegra2 based on ARM architecture has changed the history of NVIDIA CPU-free and expanded ARM's market influence in the field of mobile devices. NVIDIA's influence in the PC and high-performance fields may also be a further extension of ARM's help.
Intel wants to rely on Intel's preemptive strike before ARM has not threatened its traditional advantages, Intel has preemptively launched an attack on the embedded field. After two years of development, the Atom processor, originally designed for portable mobile devices, has already reached the embedded market in an all-round way, achieving certain achievements in Internet TV and on-vehicle equipment. Intel's move to put pressure on ARM will also force ARM to expand more aggressively under pressure.
