Anyone know what kind of ARM license Amazon has? Just a processor license or a full architecture license? I'm curious if Amazon is doing the actual CPU design.

- wmf 8y agoThey're definitely using stock A72 cores now. Amazon is very secretive so we won't know if they're designing their own cores until they ship. (Unless they post job openings for "custom ARM core designer".)
- twtw 8y agoThanks. I saw it was based on A72, but I couldn't tell if all the discussion of customization was referring to modifications to the core itself or just the SoC.
