AMD has already said they are going to get into the ARM market.  And servers are probably going to start swinging that way within the next 3-4 years.  Intel will probably still be king though.<div class="gmail_extra"><br><br>

This all seems very odd to me.. I almost bet money that Jim Keller has something to do with it (Recently being brought back to AMD to sort things out), and I really look forward to AMD's further offerings as a result. I do not see them leaving x86_64 anytime soon though, but I do at least expect some really efficient and powerful cpu's as opposed to the longer pipeline designs they've been offering as of late. An architecture change could happen though, and I'd expect it to be nothing short of revolutionary, I mean this is the great Jim Keller who brought us the DEC Alpha, the AMD Athlon, and the AMD Hammer series!<br>
