Hewlett Packard to build servers using ARM-based chips

[Nathan Wootton]

Hewlett Packard plans to make computer servers using low-energy processors based on ARM Holdings' designs.

HP said the equipment would be cheaper to run than current alternatives.

UK-based ARM's chip architecture was originally developed for use in smartphones and other mobile devices.

The British firm said the deal was "a first step" towards increasing its presence in a sector dominated by Intel's X86-based processors.

This would be interesting because low-energy processors also means low maintenance and easier to look after.

hopefully this means they will make CPU's for Home users aswell

Agreed. It might take time tho.

This could boost HP in value quite a bit actually, I also hope that this trickles down to the home user as that surely would add a little spice.
