When ARM Holdings comes up with its anticipated 64-bit design, it's only a hop, skip and a jump to a fully-fledged server implementation.

LOL.
Indeed!
The lesson of IPF is to establish a new 64 bit ISA in servers
can take a decade even when assisting ISVs with over a $1B
in development hardware, programming tools, and engineering
support.
Who is going to carry that freight for ARM? The big guys are
already heavy into x86 as well as their own non-x86 platforms.
