Too bad, A72 is the sort of thing found in $49 SBC's these days. For the price, it would have been nice to see at least A73, but at least its not an A53.


A73 isn't for servers and I don't see any server/embedded SoCs with A75 yet, so Amazon isn't exactly behind.


True, most server ARM processors that come to mind are custom (or at least semi-custom): Ampere, Centriq, ThunderX2. Trying to map them to A72/73/75/76 is perhaps short sighted since those are primarily smartphone cores - we'll have to wait and see how they perform in real world tests.


> at least its not an A53

Indeed. A72 is like the minimum viable core :) It's no eMAG or ThunderX2, but it's kinda comparable to the original ThunderX.


Jeff has to make take his cut from somewhere after all
