AMD today announced the immediate availability of the AMD Opteron™ A1100-Series developer kit, which features AMD’s first 64-bit ARM®-based processor, codenamed “Seattle.” AMD is the first company to provide a standard ARM Cortex®-A57- based server platform for software developers and integrators. Software and hardware developers as well as early adopters in large datacenters are eligible and can apply on AMD’s website.

With this announcement, AMD becomes the only provider of 64-bit ARM server hardware with complete ARMv8 instruction set support to foster the development of the ecosystem for efficient storage, Web applications and hosting. AMD is the only provider to offer the standard ARM Cortex-A57 technology.
 
We will see if this sparks Intel at all or not.

Will wait and see what these perform like before getting excited (that price!).
 
Kind of reminds me of the POWER dev kits being released.
Cool tech, but far outside the realm of affordability of the average person.
 
anyone know what ever came of the seamicro acquisition? since they were bought i don't remember seeing any announcements of anything using that technology.

Hopefully it will SPARC something at intel... they seem to not want to take any RISC... but AMD bringing this stuff out of ALPHA and ARMing itself with new tech will hopefully breath new a POWER in the server sector...

FLECOM, he puts the 'pun' in pundamentalism!
No RISC, no reward. :D
