Comment on Facebook is the first to jump into ARM serversparent

Depends how good of a deal they can offer you. Saving 20% on a fleet of x86 servers is great but over the long term the supplier isn't going to be paying your electricity bills.

Right, but say FB can move 100% to ARM. Unless there are big differences in power consumption per x64/ARM unit in Web, Cashe and DB servers.
