What will it take to loosen the x86 giant's edge stranglehold?
It's not like there aren't any AMD-based edge appliances – they do exist. AMD has anBut a close inspection reveals that most of these systems are either running on consumer-grade Ryzen processors or are so woefully outdated that anyone in their right mind – and with a big enough wallet – would opt for Intel's Xeon-D processors.
The edge and IoT is probably a relatively low volume market for AMD, and validation for these environments takes time and can be costly – but at this point why bother? It looks very much like AMD just had a bunch of 2000-series Ryzen processor dies sitting around, so why not deploy them? At a time when supply chain constraints mean customers will take whatever they can get their hands on, it's not a bad idea.
With that said, any application of Arm processors outside of consumer electronics and IoT is a weird subject right now. There is a whole class of industrial IoT products running on what is essentially a Raspberry Pi. But the list of Arm chips that can compete head on with Intel or AMD is much shorter.
