HP: Push ARM architecture server to meet Intel challenge

Beijing time October 26 Evening news, according to a foreign unnamed industry personage pointed out that HP will promote the arm based on the architecture of the server to deal with Intel in this field monopoly status.

According to the person, Hewlett-Packard is working with Calxeda, a server chip manufacturer headquartered in Texas State Austin, and Arm owns a partial stake in the company. He was unwilling to disclose his identity as the plan had not been made public.
