Let’s round that to 200 watts difference. At 20c per kWh that’s an opex difference of about $1 per day.

Public cloud providers will sell you that amount of compute for about $50-$100 per day.

The lower end of that is the Ampere processor and the high end would be the AMD 128-core processor.

In other words, they can make $49 more by using the AMD CPU per day.
