If they upgrade Macbook Airs to M2, and M2 comes with ARM v9, I might be building a new DIY server farm :)

  You’d build a server farm from a MacBook Air?

    Y’know, now that he mentions it: no cooling system, no ventilation, and takes up less rack space than a Mac Mini. Probably will have Thunderbolt 4 ports and you can route power and data through one of them. MacBook Air Colo, I can see it.

      Except you're paying for a screen, keyboard, and trackpad you'll never use. Mini's are much more cost effective.

        An M2 Mini with a 10G port... I'd be really tempted to buy a few.

        Unfortunately true.

  Out of curiosity, what in ARMv9 are you looking for that isn't either optional or already mandated in ARMv8.5? I'm actually not sure what ARMv9 additionally mandates over ARMv8.5... SVE/SVE2 is optional in ARMv9 [1], despite all the reporting claiming otherwise. [1] https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest
