ARM is already pretty viable for servers. At least viable enough that most of the major cloud providers have arm64 based instances available.

- stouset 6y agoI think there’s a qualitative difference here between viable (which is where we’re currently at) and utterly dominant (which is where I suspect we’ll be in five or so years).
- throwaway894345 6y agoI agree, but even still how does that affect Intel’s business model? Are they incapable of building ARM chips and selling them the same way as their x86 chips? Seems like the business model is fine but the product will need to change, no?
- 5ersi 6y agoSure they can, but at vastly lower profit margins.
- mikepurvis 6y agoYup, because they'll actually be in competition with all the other ARM licensees, instead of just in a duopoly with AMD.
