The magic in arm is in Risc. in an azure (or aws) cloud where 90% of operations are webserver events, those are less than complex operations. Relational databases with sums, grouping, etc. Not using every bit of x86. And once you start talking about geospatial, advanced searching, and cryptography, you might just offload to a graphics chip.


What is this, the 90s? No one cares about RISC vs CISC or ARM vs. x86-64 (on a high-level ISA level) anymore. It's all in the implementation.
