AWS is able to get custom Intel Processors due to their size (c5 instances have a custom Intel processor).

Makes sense. I sure would like some custom processors. :-)

Well, fabbing using reasonably respectable processes only runs circa $2000/mm2 or so, and using crazy old process nodes like CMOS et al gets you down to $300/mm2, so you could very well make something.

Technically.
