So, we recently did the cost calculation of whether it was cheaper (based on an application benchmark) to use a bunch of different ARM processors vs. the Intel Sandybridge-E line. Based on our TCO numbers, Intel outperformed ARM by quite a bit.

Intel's power numbers per core were only slightly above ARM, but when it came to overall infrastructure, Intel won in terms of price overall.
