I know ARM is in cell phones, tablets, TVs, etc, just being a smartass. ARM is more popular than ever. There have been articles about x86 pushing ARM out of business since the 90s back when there was still such a thing as a magazine.
I got the idea that MIPS and ARM were somehow connected. Doing a tiny bit of reading and I’ve got no idea where I got that idea.

None of them particularly new. Well, ARM is new to Mikrotik. AMD has some new ARM based server chip. http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/server/opteron-a-series From: Glen Waldrop Sent: Saturday, January 23, 2016 9:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Any news on the RB3011 from Mikrotik? ARM CPU’s are a fad... lol I’m looking forward to it, but I’m betting on a few rather spotty releases before they get ROS working properly on it. Somewhat new core/architecture compared to the units of old, correct? We’ve got MIPSLE, MIPSBE, which are tiny ARM-ish CPU correct?

I am sure the phy and ethernet chipset would be more expensive for GigE.

I never quite understood why they didn’t make all the ports on the 2011 GigE. It’s not that they typically all have to be GigE, it’s just an administrative hassle. It’s kind of annoying to have to risk firmware problems on a new CPU type just to get that, if you don’t need the added processor power. And as a business customer demarc, the desktop case with or without WiFi is popular. Not sure what they are thinking.

Much faster CPU, and all ten ports are GigE On Sat, Jan 23, 2016 at 11:12 AM, Keefe John <[email protected]> wrote: how is it better than the RB2011?
