Why couldn't that horse be SPARC? What is the ARM story that corresponds

It's not clear that a box of 128 ARMs is going to be more efficient than
one CoolThreads CPU.

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.
