Last week, Calxeda launched its ARM-based “EnergyCore” Server on a Chip, which the company said consumes as little as 1.5 watts — the first server CPU to achieve this milestone. This makes EnergyCore ideal for workloads such as Web serving, Big Data applications, scalable analytics such as Apache Hadoop, media streaming, and mid-tier infrastructure such as caching and in-memory scalable databases, the company said.
EnergyCore includes a supercomputing-class 80-Gigabit fabric switch and an integrated management engine with power optimization software on a single piece of silicon.
