  • Hello. How about using it as a web server and virtualization (ESXi and windows server with hyper-v)?
    Can you do some tests for these? and maybe compare with some xeon processors? how fast mysql is on those cpus?

    I really look at these ARM CPUs and i see they might change the servers world and i really think of getting an ARM server.

  • Hey, no need to web order. Get your parts list and come see a sales associate that knows where things are FASTER than a warehouse employee! It’s good to have a second voice before you finalize a build or part choice! The Sales Reps actually take first party training you can’t get on YouTube!

  • Exciting to see ARM gaining! Fantastic for servers (specifically high thread/process count web servers), etc.

  • No Microcenter in Visconsin 😢

  • so this is what it takes to run crisis at a whole frame per second

  • Maybe a SOC for faster memory? wait Apple silicon… did that. Someday they will make a 128 and 256 core SOC

  • O yaaaa! Micro Center… Inconveniently located for 90% of ALL OF US!

  • 128- core arm processor feeding data to GPU more efficient?so it has pcie-gen 5?

  • Can you please do a video where you compare the i9-13900KS with the Ampere Altra?
