Yeah, who would want to use ARM server, especially these days?
Performance and power efficiency is not the only story nowadays. Most modern cloud servers rely on virtualization technologies. AFAIK ARM is very weak in running VMs. AMD's AMD-V struggles with that too. Even Docker EE does not support ARM (CE does but it's not been a long time yet).
- pureagave 8y agoIMHO ARM64 server chips are suited for the cloud and cloud native applications. Containers and microservices can make better use of the high number of cores and greater mem bandwidth than old monolithic apps. Openstack, Kubernetes and Docker all work and are available with support. Virtualization with KVM also works fine.

- cat199 8y agoThis comment in 1996: Yeah, who would want to use an Intel server, especially these days? Cost and vendor-lock-in is not the only story nowadays. Most modern data center servers rely on high-availability technologies. AFAIK Intel is very weak in running HA. AMD struggles with that too. Even Linux/FreeBSD does not support HA.
