Amazon already has Graviton 2, and considering the rapid pace they are switching over their infrastructure suggest to me they are going All In.
Microsoft and Oracle is partnering with Ampere. And Google is all over the map as usual, OpenPOWER, ARM, RISC-V. And I would not be surprised if they roll their own just like AWS. Marvell has ARM offering as well. ( They really should consider buying Ampere ) So it does seems like Server ARM CPU are consolidating to a few players anyway. And Despite what they claim, Ampere and Graviton 2 are pretty much customised from ARM's Server SoC reference design.
Apple will have a super large M1 like design for future Mac Pro. What I am interested in is if Apple would use this, assuming rack mountable Mac Pro for their own DataCenter usage? ( i.e Installing Linux ) Or Bring back Xserve?
