Gregory's Server@j12t Oh, I knew ARM was taking over some segments but thought at least x86-64 (both AMD’s and Intel’s implementations) were still the standard for servers and desktops. (All of mine are old enough to be Intel or AMD, hadn’t looked at potential replacements recently.)

@j12t laptops are mobile enough I’d expect them to go ARM, even aside from Apple typically going its own way. Are *ATX boards moving to ARM now too? IIRC Intel’s low-power x86_64 never got traction, so I’d expect the micro-PCs will mostly be ARM now; the one I have isn’t, but seems to have been discontinued. I guess the kind of desktop I’m thinking of isn’t widespread enough anymore |
@ShadSterling I am writing this on ARM (MacBook Pro). And ARM-based instances on EC2 are cheaper than those based on x86_64 and I want to move my servers there as soon as I have a setup that works. All that's left for x86 is inertia.
