Amazon has a very good ARM64 cloud offering with their M6g instances. Pure ARM64 server-side Linux stacks are not yet mainstream but the ARM64 Macs will help.
- TheCondor 6y agoApple dropping Intel changes the way I feel about Graviton. I thought it was sort of a ploy from Amazon to maybe get better deals from Intel and AMD and to give them a fixed cost way to run their own stuff. It makes me think that Intel's issues are substantially bigger than some process issues and maybe an architecture generational issue to be sorted out. These are two big, high profile customers that have lost the faith.
