Makes sense that AMD would get into 64-bit ARM. They needed a game
changer. Perhaps this will allow them to retain market share in the
server space.

It was a bit unclear from the press release. One line implied the
product might be some sort of a combination of x86 and 64-bit ARM. I
would have expected them to make a clean break from x86.
