A number of reviews have noted at its release that the Centriq is expected to face significant competition from established
x86-64 data-center CPU manufacturers
Intel and
AMD, and ARM microarchitecture server products such as
Cavium's ThunderX2. In addition to competitive pressures, it has been noted that running established workloads on ARM microarchitectures requires re-optimizing and
recompiling the software, or x86-64
emulation, presenting a barrier to entry for some potential customers. ==References==
