Mr Jelly,

Re: " ... Given the rumor that at least one server consumer, maybe Facebook, is switching to ARM,
this makes a lot of sense."

I know when questioned, you will revert to your "tried and true", "I dunno" response. Here from someone
whose put a little more thought into an ARM-MiniMe scenario -->

Is Facebook About To Use ARM Chips In Its Data Centers? No!

"For any geek — or anyone who pays attention at all to the fortunes of big tech companies — it
was a truly tantalizing rumor. Too bad it turned out to be untrue. No, Facebook is not
planning to switch to servers based on the same ARM design used in Apple’s iPhone."

"Jonathan Heiliger, vice president of technical operations quashed the rumor with a comment
posted to a story floating the notion (Facebook has confirmed the comment is authentic).
“This story is completely false,” Heiliger wrote"
