What is the status of ARM at AWS? There were rumors of them making their own silicon as well a few years back.

It's in general availability at AWS today.

AWS Graviton2 is available for the M6g, T4g, C6g and R6g instance families, and more. (variants with more networking and local storage ones too)

It will be interesting how that looks in the next generation. The Graviton looks decent, but not an intel killer, but more of a price/perf value. Apple's shown that ARM can be quite competitive, especially for Amazon and similar companies that to pay for not just hardware, but space, power, and cooling.

Nice, thanks totally missed them. Do we know how performant they are compared to their x86 offers?

They have been available for a while. Lookup AWS Graviton instances.
