The author is less than enthusiastic about Apple and Microsoft pivoting to ARM. Considering the perf of the M1, this is virtually inevitable. And once most developer tool chains start supporting ARM as a first class citizen, I see no reason why we wouldn’t start running our applications on ARM in the cloud. A world with 2 architectures for mainstream use cases is the future, there’s no point fighting it.
(Unless you’re Intel/AMD in which case please fight it by giving us faster, more power-efficient chips for cheaper. Thanks!)
