Apple once ran, and caught a reasonable amount of flak for, an ad that implied Macs didn’t get viruses. The PC (John Hodgman) in the ad says there were “114,000 known viruses” for PCs in 2006, to which the Mac (Justin Long) replies, “PCs. Not Macs.” While misleading, it’s technically correct, which may have been sufficient to avoid truth-in-advertising lawsuits.
ARM processors become more popular and more cost-effective according to many benchmarks. One of them was made by Percona for MySQL. Some of our users reported issues with VictoriaMetrics at AWS Graviton instances. The main concerns were higher CPU and disk IO usage compared to x86 instances of the same size and for the same workload. By that time, we verified that VictoriaMetrics works fine for raspberry and IoT devices, but didn’t do any optimizations for ARM builds.
