Cloud is skipping amd and going straight to ARM.

I suspect AMD is getting a bigger chunk of a smaller pie as ARM makes headwind.

AWS is the only large scale provider with ARM. There are some smaller scale and VPS options but those are more for personal or small biz workloads or low overhead things.

We moved stuff to AMD cores on Google Cloud and saw a roughly 15% reduction in utilization (and thus cost) for the same work load. Those are just Zen2 too, not Zen3 yet.

Who is currently offering ARM VPSes to small businesses? I only knew about Graviton

I stand corrected... I no longer see any. For a while Scaleway and a few others were offering them but I checked and they're gone. They were too early IMHO.

Who except for Amazon is doing this currently? Or are you forecasting a long term trend.

Google would not be talking about it, but they've been rolling their own silicon for more than a decade.

Google was using POWER9 internally a couple years ago. Probably not cost efficient right now.

Exactly. I moved some workloads to AMD, but with Graviton2 out now I’m going straight to it where I can.
