The best part of this new era of ARM based servers is competition.
In the early 90's Intel slowly and steady marched into the datacenter arena up to a point that become the dominant player.
Intel was brilliant and created a distribution strategy that allowed multiple vendors use the x86 chip each with different server solutions. IMO This multitude of server offers based in the same architecture (x86) is what killed all other CPUs.. Just to remember a few players: Equipment Corporation (DEC), Sun, HPe, and even IBM now well near defunct.
It's very exciting to see ARM rising to datacenter arena. IMO ARM is a superior CPU, and now they have, just like Intel, new distributors creating multiple offers based on a single well know platform.
