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.

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.
