Where can I buy ARM server comparable with x86 server on performance? I'm not interested with clouds, I want bare metal server. I'm not aware of any server brand like HP or Dell producing ARM servers. I'm also not aware of any CPU manufacturer producing computer desktops with ARM comparable with x86, outside of Apple macs. I'm not convinced that ARM is the future. For me the future is both architectures co-existing.

You can have both.

I promise that is not what 90% of people mean when they say they want bare metal, and not what 99% of people mean when they say they don't want "cloud"; it's still AWS's machine.

Honestly, if they mean "owned machine in colo" they should say that rather than "bare metal". Those are orthogonal concepts. (You can have VM instances on a private cloud on owned machines as well)

If you're actually interested in buying servers this is not a pedantic difference.
