Already giving Intel a run for its money in the booming smartphone and tablet PC markets of today, ARM is set to get in a position to go toe-to-toe with Intel in the server market as well. This could happen with the help of HP, which reportedly plans on selling ARM-based servers instead of going with the traditional Intel route. Calxeda, Inc., a company that's partly owned by ARM, is said to be currently working on the chips with HP. Perhaps HP sees an opportunity to lower power costs by using low power ARM-based solutions, typically found in high-end smartphones and tablet devices these days. Currently, Intel commands about 90% of the worldwide server market. But if ARM can have its way, things may be in for a change.
