Yeah, I kinda wish Amazon would make a Graviton 2 powered laptop or dev machine. It would be really nice to develop directly on the ISA for the instance instead of cross-compiling. An Apple M1 of course works, but more ARM64 laptops need to be available. It's sad that it never got traction in the Windows hardware world.
- sneak 6y agoMy concern is data centers, not development systems. One can always just ssh/x11/rdp/whatever into the Graviton machines. There's also nothing wrong with the $999 M1 Air. Isn't the Surface also ARM? And most Chromebooks? After you've already got the code, though, it's Amazon's way or the highway.
- floatboth 6y agoPacket used to offer bare metal Ampere eMAGs (and old Cavium ThunderX's)… current Equinix Metal website doesn't seem to list any arm instances though :/ Apparently Oracle Cloud is going to offer both VMs and bare metal on Ampere Altras.
