I am gathering that it's a chip, a CPU chip, seem to be ARM architecture not intel x86; and is an important chip or will be due to this? I don't know why though

- SideburnsOfDoom 7y agoI'm still reading between the lines here, which is frustrating and doesn't reflect well on the journalism; So you say: "AWS announced in late 2018 the EC2 A1 instances, featuring their own AWS-manufactured Arm silicon" ... "AWS during its annual re:Invent conference announced the availability of their new class of Arm-based servers, the M6g and M6gd instances among others, based on the Graviton2 processor." So the Graviton2 is made by Amazon as well? Under licence from ARM, I mean, like other ARM design chips. _edit_ Looks like it, yes.
