While I doubt it, I hope so. Apple Silicon is so much more efficient on the desktop, and an AWS competitor might make it worthwhile to consider using aarm64 containers end-to-end. That would be amazing.

Why is it not worthwhile to run ARM containers on AWS today? Savings should be roughly 20%.

I'm not sure what I'm missing, but don't most cloud providers have ARM instances these days? We've been running most of our stuff on Graviton processors on AWS for some time now and it is a nice cost savings.

  It’s not just a matter of ISA, Apple’s CPUs are significantly more performant in a number of ways compared to other ARM CPUs on the market at the moment.
