Dell: Software porting costs hinder arm 64-bit processor applications

November 15 News, according to foreign media reports, Dell Data Center Services (DCs) Marketing executive Director Steve Cumings and marketing manager, Drew Schulke said, due to software porting costs, the latest arm 64-bit processor in with Intel, AMD two companies will face challenges when competing for markets.

Last month, UK chip maker Arm released the new 64-bit processor architecture ARMV8. ARM has previously focused on 32-bit processors to conserve energy and efficiently dominate the handset market. With the launch of the 64-bit processor, ARM is turning the market toward larger devices such as servers, competing with Intel.

Market research firm IDC's third quarter of this year showed that the x86 architecture processor won 95.1% market share for Intel.

Steve Cumings said he expects arm's performance, "Over the past few years, our labs have used arm processors and communicated with users." Users who have extremely low energy efficiency processors need to move the software into a new environment. ”

Schulke explained, "The user's concern is that the use of 64-bit chips from the Intel x86 architecture System conversion requires a full suite of software." Users will consider ROI compared to the existing x86 architecture system, and the first problem is the application designed specifically for the x86 architecture processor. ”
