Cloud is skipping amd and going straight to ARM. I suspect AMD is getting a bigger chunk of a smaller pie as ARM makes headwind.

- matwood 5y agoExactly. I moved some workloads to AMD, but with Graviton2 out now I’m going straight to it where I can.
- reitzensteinm 5y agoWho except for Amazon is doing this currently? Or are you forecasting a long term trend.
- BombNullIsland 5y agoGoogle would not be talking about it, but they've been rolling their own silicon for more than a decade.
- rbanffy 5y agoGoogle was using POWER9 internally a couple years ago. Probably not cost efficient right now.
- api 5y agoAWS is the only large scale provider with ARM. There are some smaller scale and VPS options but those are more for personal or small biz workloads or low overhead things. We moved stuff to AMD cores on Google Cloud and saw a roughly 15% reduction in utilization (and thus cost) for the same work load. Those are just Zen2 too, not Zen3 yet.
