ARM almost made inroads on servers, then everyone switched back to x64. What happened?
- Lucasoato 9mo agoI regularly use Graviton CPUs on AWS (even if Amazon pays the cheaper ARM license), why would people switch back from that? It's effectively better in terms of performance/price, I expect these improvements to slowly but steadily reach the on-premises world as well.
- gzread 9mo agoYeah, but everything on AWS is already way more expensive than it should be, so the slight discount on ARM instances is a gimmick from Amazon to diversify their servers or something. Actual ARM servers aren't cheaper or better.
- justincormack 9mo agoThe latest figures sugegsted that about 50% of server shipments into the clouds now are Arm.
