Yeah, who would want to use an Intel server, especially these days? Cost and vendor-lock-in is not the only story nowadays. Most modern data center servers rely on high-availability technologies. AFAIK Intel is very weak in running HA. AMD struggles with that too. Even Linux/FreeBSD does not support HA.

IMHO ARM64 server chips are suited for the cloud and cloud native applications. Containers and microservices can make better use of the high number of cores and greater mem bandwidth than old monolithic apps. Openstack, Kubernetes and Docker all work and are available with support. Virtualization with KVM also works fine.

>AMD's AMD-V struggles with that too

are there any benchmarks to support this? a quick search on google yields nothing.
