I don't think anyone views ARM as a dark hors contender at this point,
but I think a lot of people are going to be surprised when they move
into the server market. I know I was surprised to hear of the
server-class support chipsets being developed...While I love ARM (I work
with ARM every day) I'd never in a million years considered it for a
server platform. For no good reason, mind you, it's just that, in my
world, they're microcontrollers and barely anything more. (in my world)

But either
way, Core i7s might be considered "classic" soon too, with
all the server manufacturers gearing up to produce ARM-based *servers*.
And I believe this will be a huge step toward better servers and less
power consumption!
ARM processors are the runner that runs "by the side" while the main
players are fighting for first place...I believe when they pay
attention, the "azar?o" (in portuguese, the nice horse that no one
believes in having any chance for winning) will be waaay ahead them, and
win.
