M1 MacBook Air hits 900 GFlops in the browser with Safari's experimental WebGPU

We're busy moving stuff AWS stuff to Graviton, too. I'm not directly involved, but my understanding is it's been all good (except that not every instance type is available with Graviton). We're going to save a whole lot of money (we spend several million per year on AWS) and as far as I know there's been no performance penalty or any kind of issue.

I would love to do the same, but i'm based on Lambda which i believe is x86-only (would love to be proven wrong!)

One day hopefully soon you'll wake up with an email from Amazon that your lambdas are on ARM, there's nothing for you to do, and by the way your bill is 20% cheaper. They've publically mentioned an intention to move all of AWS internals to ARM, starting with elastic loadbalancers. I'm sure lambda will be a high priority for them.

That seems possible for eg JS lambdas, however mine are compiled rust so I don't think I'd be eligible for that :)
