Will it be a Xeon Phi competitor (lots of cores, high thermal footprint) or something aimed at lower end uses.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>AMD Will Build 64-bit ARM based Opteron CPUs for Servers, Production in 2014</title><url>http://www.anandtech.com/show/6418/amd-will-build-64bit-arm-based-opteron-cpus-for-servers-production-in-2014</url></story>
