AMD Shows Seattle ARM-based server chip for first time
AMD gave its first public demonstration of Seattle, the company's upcoming ARM-based server processor. The chip is based on the ARM Cortex-A57 core and AMD demonstrated it by giving a web hosting demonstration. AMD showed the machine running a WordPress blog and streaming a video.
The demo involved web hosting. AMD showed the entire LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack running on top of a Seattle-powered development server. You probably can't read the little spec sheet in the picture above, so here's what it says:
- AMD Opteron A1100 series development platform
- AMD Opteron A1100 Series processor
- 4 registered DIMM slots for up to 128GB of DDR3 DRAM
- PCI Express connectors configurable as single x8 or dual x4 ports
- 8 Serial ATA connectors
- Compatibility with standard power supplies
- Linux environment based on Fedora
The demo kicked off with this system spitting out web pages with information about the various software installed: Apache 2.4.6, MySQL 5.5.35, and PHP 5.4.16. The operating system was identified as "Red Hat Server for ARM 2.0 (development preview)," although I don't see that release referenced on the Red Hat website.

you can't compare X86 to ARM.
i hope there will be more dev in ARM, it look so sexy for server. (and it's not a pain in the ass to dev on it, it's just different)

What exactly made you think ARM is a PITA to work on?
Unless you're doing low-level stuff, most devs just rely on compilers.
Whether it's x86 or ARM nobody really gives a sh!t.
Maybe hopefully their investments will help make ARM less of a pain in the ass to work on, ...

Disappointing that 8 cores is currently the maximum. I'm not saying 8 cores is bad, especially considering they're all the same core (unlike big.LITTLE) and considering everything else this system can do, which is a LOT more than your average ARM platform. But If they upped it to 16 cores like their x86 opterons, I'm sure they'd make a pretty big dent in the ARM server world.
I'm excited about AMD doing all of this though. Maybe hopefully their investments will help make ARM less of a pain in the ass to work on, and get other manufacturers to step up their designs.
