iTWire Wednesday, 26 May 2021 01:45 Oracle Cloud now provides Arm CPUs at one cent per core hour Featured Oracle today announced a new range of Arm compute instances based on Ampere’s ARM processors along with the tools and support to accelerate Arm-based application development. The new Arm offerings clock in at a single cent per core hour, the industry’s lowest cost per core. The x86 processor market largely warded off competition from SPARC, MIPS, PowerPC and Titanium options from the 1980s through the early 2000s, becoming the dominant CPU format. Today it’s a different story, with x86, GPUs and ARM.
