A start-up called Movidis believes a 16-core chip originally designed for networking gear will be a ticket to success in the Linux server market.
Movidis is announcing two new servers using the chip in conjunction with next week's LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco. The Revolution x16 models each use a single 500MHz or 600MHz Cavium Networks Octeon CN3860 chip, said Ken Goldsholl, the company's co-founder and chief technology officer.
