A53 cores can use as little as tens of milliwatts... these aren't going to compete with Xeon or whatever high performance CPU's are being run in today's clouds... but for a static website at Wix (or whatever), you don't really need that performance majority of the time for majority of their customers.

Same goes with most long-running VPS'... bursts of activity here and there or once a day or whatever.

Being able to run those workloads on cheaper cores that consume far less power would be a huge win. Not all workloads would be a good fit, but those which are, this can be big.
