 [Memgraph](https://memgraph.com/) is an open-source, in-memory graph database built for real-time streaming and analytical workloads. It is compatible with the [Cypher](https://memgraph.com/docs/querying) query language and the Bolt protocol used by Neo4j drivers, so existing Cypher/Bolt applications can connect without changes.
 
 Memgraph publishes native `aarch64` Linux packages and multi-architecture Docker images, so it runs unmodified on Arm-based hardware.
 
-Graph algorithms parallelize well and scale with core count, and Arm servers often have a meaningful cost-per-query advantage over equivalent x86 instances that make them an increasingly popular fit for graph workloads.

It is already included in the Memgraph Linux packages and in the `memgraph/memgraph:3.10.1` and `memgraph/memgraph-mage:3.10.1` Docker images, so you only need a separate install if you want to run it from a different machine.
