Mikrotik some how got a hold of Graviton cpu's for their Flagship router and now their new NAS/Router/Container Server.

Interesting enough Mikrotik announced a co-development with Ampere last year. https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS/blog/2024/09/24/27...

Interesting... that AL73400 part they're using is the first generation Graviton, and AFAICT that's not available on AWS anymore. Maybe Amazon considers it obsolete and is selling their stocks off to third parties like MikroTik?
