What % of the server cost for Amazon is the CPU? I mean you have memory, disk, network, power...

I'm guessing power is the big one. A marginally cheaper cpu is not that big of a deal, but a cpu that costs marginally less per hour to run will save them a lot at scale.

AWS is running on very thin margins, and every couple precent in extra productivity could easily mean doubling profits.

Incorrect. Amazon is a public company, and their own report tells us that AWS margin is 25%, as of 2019 Q3.
