At our recent Linley Tech conference, Marvell's Viren Shah disclosed plans to take on Xeon in the server market. The company is developing new processors based on its 2GHz Sheeva CPU, an ARM-compatible design from Marvell's own CPU team. These processors will start with 4 CPUs, but the company plans to offer 8-CPU and 16-CPU versions as well. First samples are due later this year, with the first systems likely to appear in 2H11.
