> M. Whether I run my Python or C# or Java on ARM or Intel doesn't matter too much to me and if AWS can offer me ARM servers at a discount, I might as well take advantage of that. I think that's the fundamental mistake in reasoning: If ARM is cheaper for AWS, then AWS has no reason at all to offer it to its customers at a discount because the customers will not move if no discount if offered. As long as there's no mass market for ARM PCs/servers that work with all the modern software that anyone can rack and sell a-la ServInt/Erols/EV1 circa 1996 there won't be pricing pressure. This has played time and time again in transit pricing.
