HP will begin in 2012, releasing on the ARM architecture, the server

04.11.2011 12:08:41 A bit unusual news that the servers that will be used by the processors previously used in portable devices.

The main difference between ARM processors on x86 and x64 in the fact that they use a RISC architecture rather than CISC, so they consume less power and less expensive to manufacture.

Let me remind you that this is a simplified RISC processor architecture, without complex additional commands. This approach reduces the number of transistors processor, which naturally makes it cheaper and consume less power. Most often, this architecture processors used in portable devices and controllers as components in a PC.
CISC architecture used in high-power processors used in personal computers and servers as basic computational modules such as CPU and GPU video card. This architecture includes a variety of specialized functions.

A little comment on:
The fact that the company is Hewlett Packard decided to focus on creating servers based on RISC architecture is fully justified ... First of additional functions available in architecture CISC replaced by a combination of simple functions to ensure compatibility and therefore are often not used. Much less powerful processors on one board, is always better than one but powerful. Device with many small, little-consuming, with low heat processors are very profitable in terms of parallel tasks.
Also, the segmentation of processors to speed access to memory.
To sum up:
1) Low cost
2) Low consumption of electricity
3) Compact
4) Low heat generation
5) Simple architecture
6) Improvement of parallel operation
7) Fast access to memory
In my opinion a great idea to make a server on the RISC processor architecture.

P.S. Strictly speaking I am not an expert on hardware and software features of the device with a processor superficially acquainted, so if you are a professional in this business, you can correct me in discussions on this subject, I am happy to rewrite the article.
