But a new system from Hewlett Packard Enterprise will be built this year with a rival design from processor maker Arm, better known for smartphone chips. > The system, called Astra and arriving at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, late this summer is built from 2,592 servers, each with two ThunderX2 Arm processors built by Cavium. Each processor has 14 cores, and each server is about 100 times faster than a modern phone, Sandia said.
