I've been using them in production. I've been pleased with the value proposition offered. It helps that, on our workload, arm overperforms relative to published benchmarks while AMD underperforms.

How many cores version do you have? Are you able to use all the software you need to? Are the machines "rock solid" or are there some teething issues?

Not able to use it for the whole stack. Some of our stack doesn't run on arm.

Don't have a bare metal machine, just some modest sized virtual machines with 2 cores each.

They have been stable.
