Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers to common cloud compute pricing and infrastructure questions.
Why are ARM64 cloud instances cheaper than x86? ▼
ARM64 processors (such as AWS Graviton and Ampere Altra) offer superior energy efficiency and higher core density without the x86 architecture licensing overhead, allowing cloud providers to price them lower while delivering equal or better performance.
Can all software run on ARM64 cloud servers? ▼
Nearly all modern Linux software, languages (Go, Rust, Python, Node.js, Java, PHP, C#/.NET), and container images (Docker, OCI) have native ARM64 support. Only legacy proprietary binaries compiled exclusively for x86 require translation.
