Yes, many, but most ARM machines are currently "Single Board Computers" (SBC) and the performance is not M1 level. 2020 appears to very much be "year of ARM" with Graviton, and now the M1 chip looking very good.

EDIT: gravitation -> graviton

There are a few ARM server motherboards but most of them are either based on older hardware and/or the product lines have been discontinued.

I think you mean "Graviton" which is Amazon's custom processor using ARM Neoverse cores. You can't buy one of them as your own machine but you can use it through the Amazon cloud.
