Apple's follow-up to M1 chip goes into mass production for Mac

Yeah, I kinda wish Amazon would make a Graviton 2 powered laptop or dev machine. It would be really nice to develop directly on the ISA for the instance instead of cross-compiling. An Apple M1 of course works, but more ARM64 laptops need to be available. It's sad that it never got traction in the Windows hardware world.

My concern is data centers, not development systems. One can always just ssh/x11/rdp/whatever into the Graviton machines.

There's also nothing wrong with the $999 M1 Air. Isn't the Surface also ARM? And most Chromebooks?

After you've already got the code, though, it's Amazon's way or the highway.

Packet used to offer bare metal Ampere eMAGs (and old Cavium ThunderX's)… current Equinix Metal website doesn't seem to list any arm instances though :/

Apparently Oracle Cloud is going to offer both VMs and bare metal on Ampere Altras.

Future ARM Surface laptops will probably be faster than Graviton per-core but obviously with fewer cores.
