Pretty interesting, I remember when Qualcomm floated this idea of ARM servers years ago. Well, they are here today, and looks like they can beat XEON x86 nodes in both integer and floating point processes in speed, while using less watts.
The future of crunching? Maybe...

The new A11 iPhone chip is supposed to be faster than the intel chips used in the MacBooks. And microsoft has already said that they are going to be releasing windows that runs on ARM, as will all the x86 apps somehow. The demo was fast, not like emulation in the past. It appears that ARM is the future.
