The Ampere Altra Review: 2x 80 Cores Arm Server Performance Monster
This line is the kicker for me:"Intel’s current Xeon offering simply isn’t competitive in any way or form at this moment in time."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.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.
