For someone who doesn't know much about ARM vs Intel/AMD. What is the use case here? If both run Linux what is the difference?
The long term, however, is where things start to get interesting. I suspect that by the second generation we're going to see ARM servers able to deliver a better price-per-core (and perhaps therefore price for computing performance) than the x86 alternatives. This will be particularly beneficial for applications which require a lot of CPU power and are highly parallelizable. Picture a workload that can take advantage of 64 cores, with ARM you can get this many cores for a lot less cost than x86.
