The Ampere Altra Review: 2x 80 Cores Arm Server Performance Monster
This line is the kicker for me:<p>"Intel’s current Xeon offering simply isn’t competitive in any way or form at this moment in time."<p>The rest of the paragraph twists the knife more, and declares there to be an open market on server hardware for AMD and Ampere to fight it out.<p>With application stacks being what they are and optimizations for Xeon so deeply integrated, it's unlikely that folks running private datacenters actually feel the same way, but if I was spinning up a new company with the sort of funding to be able to decide between self-hosted or cloud I would have some math to do.
