“Making things run fast in the abstract is great on PowerPoint presentations, but it doesn’t help things run fast in your customer’s data center,” she told Reuters in an interview.

One of y’all needs to write a PPT compiler so all of those great PPT ideas could come to life
I hate to say it, but @6vir is correct. Ampere will get a thorough courtesy vetting over at Lenovo due to RJ's relationship with KS, but all the big server guys could do this on their own with an ARM license. If Lenovo did move forward to productize, it would be toward the China market first. I wouldn't get my hopes up, however.
Anybody can make an ARM chip. Selling it in volume is an entirely different thing and much harder. Ask any of the people at the multiple failed companies trying to do the same. Rene James is leveraging her name and history at Intel to get in the door at Lenovo as a coutesy and maybe some vague interest, but this is likely going to fail like every other ARM server attempt. If the high volume cloud server customers (Amazon, Google, Microsoft) really wanted an ARM server they could build their own and outsource manufacturing just like Rene James is doing. Even if a potential server customer hated Intel, they can go the AMD route and would be miles ahead of any ARM server offering without having to rewrite a single line of code.
Does anyone have a count of number of ARM server chips have been made and they failed?
Unlike Intel, Ampere does not make its own chips. It contracts that work out to Taiwan Semiconductor Co Ltd , similar to Apple and Qualcomm. But that means Ampere’s next generation of chips, due in 2019, will take advantage of TSMC’s 7-nanometer manufacturing technology, which is more advanced than Intel’s current generation of technology and is being used on Apple’s newest iPhones and Qualcomm’s latest phone processors.
“We benefit from the fact that we’re on the same process as people who are making billions of units,” James told Reuters.
Hmm the 10nm process on ppt sure look 👀 great, talking about that three year lead and the competition didn’t talk, they are making !
The five previous posts (if they are still there) exhibit the sophomoric level at which most spammers tend to live, both online and in real life. Yeah, you can post emojis and what you view as witty, but you all fail miserably. And comically.
RJ's start-up might do well. She smartly engaged with KS at Lenovo to get the initial boost. RJ wasn't all that liked at Intel, but she was a force. And she's right - it's all about the software.
I challenge any subsequent posters to say something relevant. Success or failure is in your hands.
Start ups even this one have much more foreign born engineers and founders than intel. Innovation rocks
LOL direct attack on Intel idiocy.
I'm grade 6, I'm not good at .ppt, work. My manager told me to improve .ppt skill before I can get promotion even i have showed several times that i can come up with technical solutions my whole team including PE can't figure out.
What? PowerPoint presentations doesn’t help???????
But that's the only thing our engineer good at!
