Author here, thanks for the feedback. I want to keep this simple enough for me and my non-hardware engineer colleagues, but will see if I can add a note about the instruction sets. Yeah, I remember when only the cheap slow devices were ARM, and that suddenly changed. I'm assuming it's because some very talented engineers at Annapurna/AWS and Apple starting working on the problem with heavy iteration – if you look at the Apple A series performance it shows lots of compounding benefits. AWS is much more opaque, but they're likely iterating like crazy internally, and their Graviton2 is a better business decision for customers who can run ARM, and they're layering ML and encryption onto it. Will fix the note about software being the reason the transition now – I meant to say Apple has had the A series chips for a while, why are they deciding to transition now – probably because it took a while to get the OS and Rosetta ready.
