Scaleway was also early in providing Arm servers, it's cool to see them keep bringing new stuff

It's maybe almost too early, given the performance profile of these and the current state of software compat, but the trajectory is definitely there for RISC-V. Wouldn't be surprised to see these compete strongly against ARM servers a few years from now.

This one is probably more for Scaleway to gain experience than for customers to use seriously.

Of course, that excuse could be true for customers too.

The performance is about the same as the first Graviton servers in late 2018.

Do they still offer ARM? I remember them killing the ARM bare metal back in the day.

Still seem to offer ampere based vcpus

They are discontinued as of the end of January 2024. (See the FAQ section). Their only ARM appears to be Cost Optimized Arm: https://www.scaleway.com/en/cost-optimized-instances-based-o...

.. and the Mac Mini M1/M2/M2 Pro.

If you're going to run your stuff on them on aarch64 Linux in docker anyway you wont notice any difference (except speed and price) between Mac and Ampere running Linux.

Aren't speed and price the two primary metrics of a server?
