Again, the ARM benchmarks/demos recently are very impressive but there is no way they'll be able to match the higher end Xeon's, if for no other reason than you have to do x86 emulation.

I think they'll definitely be able to take some market share from Intel at the lower-end, but they won't be going anywhere any time soon.

AMD K12 is still slated for release in 2017 somehow - they didn't discontinue it. It'll have Zen levels of performance if it's released. For the time being, only Apple cores are remotely near competitive in single-core performance.

Well they have't been any mention of K12 since 2015/2016. And the last Financial Analyst day didn't have have K12 on it at all.

Again it doesn't make any sense to put ARM on server. There just aren't any advantage yet. And the forseeable future.

Yeah, it's interesting that it wasn't officially dropped from the plans, even if no-one hears anything about it.
