1. I got excited when I saw arm64 mentioned. How competitive is it? Do you think it will be a viable alternative for Netflix in the future?

2. On amd, did you play around with BIOS settings? Like turbo, sub-numa clustering or cTDP?

Arm64 is very competitive. As you can see from the slides, the Ampere Q80-30 is pretty much on-par with our production AMD systems.

Yes, I've spent lots of time in the AMD BIOS over the years, and lots of time with our AMD FAE (who is fantastic, BTW) poking at things.
