Certain ARM implementations (M1, M2) have proven better than certain implementations of x86 (basically all of them). The ARM implementations in question are not available for general purchase. It's only worth the effort to switch if a competitive processor becomes available. It doesn't look like the MS teamup with qualcomm that resulted in the sq1/sq2 procs are that.
In the server space, that's different given that graviton/cavium have proven competitive.
- soco 4y agoCavium has been proven competitive then killed. Something didn't add up there, but at least we have the Ampere processors left.
