<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Looks more like adefensive move against
ARM. For big (BIIIG) customers like Microsoft, Google, or a
financial shop, that kind of manic optimization may make sense
(and those same customers would have the pull and money to order a
custom SoC with an ARM core if they wanted).<br>

Cute technically... but unless you are one of the few budding
skynets, designing the FPGA is the costly hurdle. And if you do a
sloppy job, what kind of optimization is it? ;-)<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color:

us to give up searching for a solution to our DataCenter
problems and come back to the farm... and all it will cost us is
an FPGA... if I wanted to program FPGAs, I don't need a Xeon to
go along with it!<br>
