Arm-Based 128-Core Ampere CPUs Cost a Fraction of x86 Price
These ARM cpu/boards has a cheaper replacement for x86 in real world general computing are becoming a “Year of desktop Linux” by now.<p>I’ve been hearing these news for more than a decade and still hasn’t materialize in anything meaningful if you take into account how much “fraction of a cost” they are advertised.<p>Edit: I was referring to a regular person or SME buying something like a couple "ATX" boards or "regular servers". Since it's a "fraction of the cost" I don't get why it hasn't spread like wildfire yet. I wasn't talking about giant cloud companies who place orders on the hundreds of thousands at least and many of them design their own hardware by now. Neither I was talking about a CPU that's attached with +$1000 of gray aluminum.<p>Raspberry Pi and it's "clones" are what it's closer to what I was talking about, but not really.
