The problem is that ARMv9, as I type this, is not available. Perhaps ARM holdings and/or NVidia are working on the ARMv9 instruction set, and there has been a lot of speculation about what ARMv9 will be, but so far nothing concrete. [1]

ARMv8 (i.e. 64-bit ARM), of course, has been around for a while now.

[1] Keep in mind that anything on Reddit not confirmed elsewhere is very likely either wild speculation or made up fiction.

Apple is usually the first to ship ARM designs. I think they are the only ARMv8.5 implementation at the moment.
