Nvidia Abandons 64-bit Denver Chip for Servers - I guess this was to be expected as HPC likely only exists when highly subsidized by the volume of high-end desktop products. After Microsoft was successful in completely destroying the market for desktop ARM chips by crippling Windows on ARM (making it Metro only): no volume desktop chips = no cost competitive HPC products. The looser in this market is the consumer. 64-bit ARM for desktop would have been an awesome platform.
