In terms of actual security and control, you are correct. Google is better than some other corporations out there, but there are plenty who are better than them. And with enthusiasts who are using their ISP and hosting their own personal cloud service. It could be an underpowered NAS system, or a beefy Ryzen/Xeon HEDT, or perhaps a Mainframe that is networked. If you control the hardware, the software, that affords you a lot of control and security.... but doesn't eliminate it, since you still have to use an ISP that can spy on your traffic, adjust speeds, or even block your network at times. Even still, you're using hardware made by another big corporation (ie Backdoors) and software that is usually licensed too. So your Custom Solution can still have vulnerabilities you may or may not be aware of.

Windows Intel AMD actually don't exists (x86) what's why windows must run Linux on x86 and azure OS (linux) on ARM must emulate window somehow , Axion is 60% faster and 60% more energy efficient the equation is simple and everyone knows that

Do you know about CPUs for servers? They aren't same like in your phone, there are a lot of cores (more than in x86 CPUs) and other things for server.
This release is for shareholders, not for you or me.
They won't sell it. So, there is no reason to interest you.

Just over announcing again and again, for more 15+, about arm promises... And googoo is so lame nowadays, all they can do is anouncement .

If I wanted a data center, I would buy a NAS to be honest. Ugreen makes a solid one but 10,000 USD?

I think they'll order CPUs from TSMC, but I'm not sure.
And it's not for sale, you shouldn't worry about these CPUs.
And don't care about percenta, maybe we'll see some benchmarks not from Google.
Just think, you can sell shit if people buy it, but if you do something for yourself, it's better to create a good instrument.

I rather trust Amazon, they've got skin in the game, and have much more experience.
It's always suspect when they say it's x% faster than y-thing but then don't release specifics. Apple does this often, but usually they can back it up. Nvidia is bad, and sometimes they lie illegally/false advertising. And Intel themselves are the worst. In contrast, Qualcomm is much better than them, and the gold standard seems to be AMD in their explanations.
If the Tensor Silicon SoC's are any indication of Google's prowess then I have low expectations. The G1 looked promising as their first attempt, although it was behind the 9-month old Exynos 2100. The G2 barely made improvements and was WAY behind the old Dimensity 9000. Then the G3 made some solid improvements but it wasn't enough to keep up with the competition with the likes of the QC 8g3, so they're basically a high-end chipset (QC 7g2+ / Dimensity 8300) competing against the luxury/flagship market (QC 8g3 / Dimensity 9300). And you the consumers are paying for it.
So yeah nah.
