Can't speak to GCP. I work at Oracle on OCI, their cloud platform.

I'm genuinely excited to get my hands on these systems, and see how well they can do. There has been so many promises of a future based on ARM powered servers, and claims about their advantages, and it finally seems like it's within reach from a performance perspective. Whether they'll meet the other expectations, I couldn't guess, but this surely has to be concerning for Intel.
