Hey, Intel is trying to get into the foundry business, right? Wonder if Renee has any good contacts over there. Maybe they could dodge the supply chain issue. (Just kidding, I know switching fabs is a big project -- but I do sort of wonder if there was a missed opportunity here... Ampere needs some tricks up their sleeve if they want to compete with Amazon and their unlimited funds, right?).

It wouldn't be possible until around 2024, and regardless TSMC has a ridiculous ARM ecosystem. IFS is probably most competitive with RISC-V and licensed x86 cores rather than ARM. That said, IFS apparently does Graviton packaging, so maybe?
