I tried a scaleway arm8 server and performance is ok. 35€/mo for 16 cores at 500 Mflops on scimark2 whereas my mbp i7 does 2200 one core, 1700 all four, so on such a parallel workload, arm server outdoes a quad core i7. Ec2 pricing for similar performance would be higher Id expect. That said, single core performance is far lower than x86. With high core counts it makes sense for HPC work. I'd really like to see a good OpenCL implementation for arm.
