Ampere, a new chip company run by former Intel president Renee James, came out of stealth today with a brand-new highly efficient Arm-based server chip targeted at hyperscale data centers.
The company's first chip is a custom core Armv8-A 64-bit server operating at up to 3.3 GHz with 1TB of memory at a power envelope of 125 watts. Although James was not ready to share pricing, she promised that the chip would offer unsurpassed price/performance that would exceed any high performance computing chip out there.
The company has a couple of other products in the works as well, which it will unveil in the future.

Interesting idea. Never thought of that.
Maybe have one socket (with one or more cores) per security domain.
The idea being that even if you can Spectre / Meltdown to peek kernel memory, you can only learn secrets related to the security domain your attack code is executing in. On a multi-tenant cloud system, you can't learn secrets about other customers. Or on a Google like system, you might have successfully attacked, say, blogger nodes, but you wouldn't ever see processes from say, YouTube, or Gmail, to contrive an example.
