On this point I just deployed my first end to end ARM app. It’s a small aggregator but it’s written in Go on an M1 mac and deployed to graviton2 instance.

The killer is there was no friction at all and target is cheaper. It all just worked. Absolutely no issues at all.

The thing that scares intel is that they’re not special any more.

Except if you use an M1 and deploy your build on Graviton3 you will leave a lot of performance on the table. (SVE)
The same holds true for x86, you want to build performance sensitive code on a machine with the same processor that will be used for running it.
In my experience the difference between Intel laptop parts and xeons isn't that much, atleast it is for AVX512 which would be a good analog for the situation with SVE.
