Wanted ARM powered server processor

Do you have any information about server side processor with ARM core processor? Similar with below architecture. This kind SoC is aiming to "Big Data" processing on large-scale distribution of application, content and cloud system.

Re-thinkable LG's L9 application processor for Smart TV

Apple's CPU is remarkable item to be focused whenever its brand new product launching and let geeks spill out their excitement. The most recent CPU in new iPad is named in A5X, which integrates dual ARM's cortex A9 processor and quad PowerVR's SGX543MP4 GPU processors. This quad  GPU processor structure, SGX543MP4, was known as used to be implemented in Sony Playstation Vita. Its quad GPU performance can be estimated like below;

1 core = 35M polygon / sec @200Mhz
4 cores = 133M polygon / sec @200Mhz

At this time, I reviewed LG's L9 AP's information again to compare with Apple's A5X. Surprisingly, L9 AP integrates dual ARM's cortex A9 and quad Mali 400MP GPU similarly to A5X. This performance of Mali 400MP in ARM's company site is shown as below.


1 core = 30M triangles / sec @275Mhz (in 65nm process)

Approximately and considering process scale there looks no dramatic performance difference between two GPUs. Then, does that means LG is closing to hand-in its own AP for smartphone beyond stationary Smart TV like Apple and Samsung?

Just iPAD? No vacancy for any PAD in China

Recently Proview Electronics extended its lawsuit to ban its trademark, iPad, to US. However, it not just for iPad, but any Pads from aPAD to zPAD were not allowed for Apple in China.
