Interestingly that's starting to evaporate. Epyc 7702 is only ~3 watts per core, with Zen2 cores. That's crazy high performance per watt. If ARM is still more efficient at all it's not by very much, and then it has worse per-thread performance and has to emulate legacy code.
There are probably going to be places where ARM makes sense in the datacenter, but that doesn't look like an easy path to taking over entirely.
- ksec 6y agoIn terms of Workload per Watts on AWS, cost per workload, or the actual cost of the processor the Graviton still has a lead. ( Although that was when compared to Zen 1 ) It wont be taken over any time soon. But I suspect the server market for x86 to shrink by quite a bit over the next 10 years. Anyway where is Zen 3!
