You Need AWS Graviton: Migrate to arm servers now!

[@BretFisher]

I use arm64 everywhere! Are you using it on servers? And if not, are you planning to test it for faster servers or cost savings?

[@voHikky]

Thanks, as always interesting to listen. But the only thing I got: it is not worse than x86(repeated 10 times). But in what way is it better? What are cost savings?

[@BretFisher]

You get more compute for your money with arm. For the same price as a x86 EC2 instance, an arm64 instance would have faster CPU and networking, at a minimum.

@@BretFisher Right. But what about numbers? Sure we can check prices, Gravitron's CPU and memory are 20% cheaper. But there are different instructions sets that theoretically means that we will get different per performance on different kind of workloads. So my concern: will 12 ARM cores give me same performance as 10 x86 cores on same workloads? I am not opposed to ARM, but still have concerns.
