AWS has the Graviton ARM CPU that is pretty competitive but you can only rent them.

Graviton is just an ARM neoverse core no? It's not a bespoke design.

I think so.

Ampere has Graviton-like chips that you can actually buy, but neither Graviton or Ampere are really in the same market segment as Qualcomm and Apple.

System76 recently released an ampere desktop. It starts at about half the price of a Mac Pro and seems to top out at many more cores.

I’m not sure if the low end ampere is as slow as a high end mac though.

I believe Graviton is competitive in the server market yes, but not in mobile or laptops.

Graviton4 is based on Neoverse V2 which is based on X3.

Neoverse V3 was announced Feb of this year. It should have an 80-85% performance increase and should basically be based on something very close to x925.
