Ars Technica reports that AMD announces its first ARM-based processor.
Codenamed “Seattle,” the processors will be branded Opteron A-series and built on a 28 nm process. The first of these will be the A1100. This will have 4 or 8 cores based on ARM’s Cortex-A57 design. This is a high performance, 64-bit ARM core, and it will run at clock speeds of at least 2 GHz. The chips will have up to 4MB of level 2 cache and 8MB of level 3 cache, with both caches shared across all the cores. They’ll support dual channel DDR3 or DDR4, with up to 128GB RAM. The chips will also include a bunch of connectivity: eight PCIe 3 lanes, eight SATA 3 ports, and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Rounding out the SoCs, they’ll also include dedicated engines for cryptography and compression. The whole thing has an expected power usage of 25W.
ARM-based processors have definitely overtaken X86 Processors for the past few years. Most people do not even realize that their favorite electronic gadgets are ARM-based, including the iPhone, iPad and many Android devices.

Earlier today I was having trouble making calls using Google Voice via Hangouts. Once I arrived at the office, some colleagues complaint that Gmail was down. It turns out Google did have service outages.
I (proudly and foolishly) rely on Google Voice to do my job. Days like these would certainly grant me extra hours of slacking.
Coincidentally (and ironically), Google’s Reliability Team was doing Reddit AMA right before the outages happened.
