Qualcomm announced today that it’s continuing its partnership with Microsoft, bringing « next generation cloud services on its 10 nanometer Qualcomm Centriq 2400 platform. » The firm says that the « collaboration will span multiple future generations of hardware, software and systems. »
Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies (QDT), the subsidiary of Qualcomm that handles server tech, has been working with Microsoft for years on optimizing a version of Windows Server for internal use on datacenters. Neither company confirmed that this version of Server will be sold to customers, so don’t expect your business’ next server to use a Centriq 2400.
The Centriq 2400 has 48 Falkor cores, which is QDT’s custom ARMv8 CPU.
