I run all my workloads in AWS on armchips. It's half the cost for just as good of an experience on my side.

- paulmd 3y agoCloud providers are very careful to make sure of that - they have deliberately eschewed performance increases that are possible (and have occurred in the consumer market) in favor of keeping the “1 vcpu = 1 sandy bridge core” equivalence. The latest trend is those “dense cores” - what a shocking coincidence that it’s once again sandy bridge performance, and you just get more of them. They don’t want to be selling faster x86 CPUs in the cloud, they want you to buy more vcpu units instead, and they want those units to be arm. And that’s how they’ve structured their offerings. It’s not the limit of what’s possible, just what is currently the most profitable approach for Amazon and google.
