Since Google doesn't appear to be working on anything like Graviton, they would have to use a smaller player like Ampere or Nuvia. Marvell says they are out of the general purpose market, and will only work in partnerships for custom chips.

Maybe the M1 success will cause some players to re-think things, but for now, there doesn't seem to be an easier path for competitive high-end ARM servers apart from what Amazon is doing.

Nuvia, at least according to Ben Thompson of Stratechery, is not going to making server chips. I guess that’s not to say they can’t given a big enough order but it is his belief that Qualcomm bought them to focus on consumer devices and things.
