My optimistic take: “All the data centers” are the Cloud hyperscalers, who are increasingly delivering value through PaaS/SaaS vs. raw VMs and IaaS.
They’re choosing the CPUs they like best, can turn over quickly if it’s worthwhile, and if the performance/economics of RISC-V are suitably appealing will do so.
I wonder how much of, say, S3’s infrastructure is running on Graviton?
I hope RISC-V servers will come with open BIOS, given Ron Minnich stance on the proprietary BIOS issue during his time at google I think hyperscalers would like that too.
Recently had basic BIOS/BMC bugs it's annoying as hell.
