They don't seem to mention why EPYC and not Ampere's new architecture.

Is the power and performance / core count comparable, so it's more momentum preserving to stay with x86_64?

We use both. This post was about the x86 version of our edge servers.

The post is specifically talking about their x86 servers:

It's nearly time for another refresh to our x86 infrastructure, with deployment planned for 2024.
