In Amazon's Graviton 5 PR they note that over half of all new compute capacity added to AWS over the past three years has been Graviton-based. That's an amazing stat.
It really is incredible how ARM basically commoditized processors (in a good way).

I would much rather see some kind of mandatory open market sale of all cpu lines so that in theory you can run graviton procs in rackspace, apple m5 servers in azure, etc.
(Side note but the original Graviton1 was just 16x Cortex-A72 cores, nothing particularly special about it. Actually, all of the Graviton series are just standard ARM cores. But beyond that the SKU they use is indeed the same one AWS uses.)
Yes and maybe no. They do "cheat" in that internal / managed services often use Graviton where possible. It works out cheaper without the Intel / AMD "tax".
