I'd really like to know what the heck they're targetting with these? Are they trying to make edge servers like the Sparc gaggle of idiot chips? They certainly aren't going after big iron.
Of course they'll run Linux and likely Apache or some such.
Seems like a total waste of money. Given their insider knowledge of Intel roadmaps is likely to be as good as it gets outside Intel I wonder why they're not seriously investing in competitive solutions to Oracle SW rather than some dumba** HW thing. There's much more at risk there.
