Some things don't run on GPUs (including some of the folding projects, or could they all go on GPU?), so I guess Amperes have their uses.
Most things don't run on AMpere CPUs at all!
Folding doesn't work on it, boinc perhaps some projects might.
But there's just not enough supply out there for scientists to write software for these cpus.
Plus, they're expensive.

You can still rent one ... some hosting companies started to add it the to their offer like this one :

Why FAH wouldn't run on such CPUs ?

Different instruction set I would imagine. AMD and Intel desktop and server CPUs have a common instruction set.

There is an ARM version of the CPU folding core for use on systems using Linux. Whether it would run on an Ampere ARM based CPU has not been determined.
