At AWS scale you can feasibly just buy up the entire run of chips. What's a few million CPUs more or less between friends?

Additionally, Amazon is absolutely the type of company to create their own x86 processor if Intel/AMD are unwilling to make some customization.

Intel does not want to be competing with an Amazon Basics processor.

They already have pretty significant investment in their own ARM-based chips for servers. Given Apple's recent success in x86 emulation on ARM, I doubt it's worth the trouble of directly competing in the x86 arena.

You basically need a license for X86 from Intel for this. Do you think x86 is open source!

The usual line of operation is to include VIA in the operation.
