SAN JOSE, Calif. – Baidu has become the first big data center to adopt an ARM server. China’s Internet search giant will use a custom storage server powered by the 32-bit Armada XP from Marvell.
The news marks the first foot in the door for an ARM server SoC in what is a market dominated by x86 chips from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. The ARM-based alternatives claim they will cost less and use significantly less power.
