Sina Science and technology news Beijing time October 26 morning, according to people familiar with the situation, Hewlett-Packard (Micro-blog) plans to sell based on ARM technology servers to challenge the dominance of Intel (Weibo). People close to the situation said HP was currently working with Arm-owned Calxeda to develop chips. The move will exacerbate the rivalry between arm and Intel: Intel occupies 90% of the server market, while arm plans to move into the 9 billion dollar market with low-power chips. "One of the biggest problems in the server area is energy management," said Michael Inglis, Michael Ingris, ARM's vice president, in a media interview last week. "But he said the company would not comment on outside speculation before formally announcing the partnership." Calxeda spokeswoman, Laura Beck, declined to comment Laura Baik. She disclosed that the company will hold a product launch on November 1, but did not disclose details. HP spokeswoman declined to comment. Calxeda hopes to produce cheaper and less energy-efficient server chips through technology widely used in the mobile phone industry. Servers are being increasingly used in cloud computing centers to provide remote computing power to users over the Internet. Although Tigris declined to disclose specific users, he said chips based on ARM technology would first be used to support basic Web site access and then serve more powerful systems. Intel has started catching up with arm in the smartphone market, which has been used by most handsets. Intel says the company's chips will appear on the phone next year. ARM is also pressuring Intel in other areas, which is working with companies such as Qualcomm and Nvidia to develop chips based on ARM technology and will be used in more Tablet PCs and notebook devices. As the PC market faces the challenge of tablet computers and mobile phones, Intel relies on its server business. The Intel Data center group last year's revenue growth 35%,pc sector grew only 21%. IDC expects the server chip market to be about $9 billion trillion this year. ARM's share price has risen 39% per cent this year, with the company's third-quarter sales rising 22% year-on-year and profits doubling. Hewlett-Packard, the world's largest PC maker and Intel's biggest customer, has contributed about 19% of its revenue. (Si yuan)
