Nvidia has been producing their own ARM cores since at least 2014:

The ARM core performance hasn't been spectacular vs the latest and greatest from Samsung and Apple but combined with CUDA and tensor cores it can provide pretty incredible results considering the cost, form factor, and power consumption. Carmel is also at least two years old at this point...
Their project Denver announcement from 2011 discusses plans for server and HPC applications:

- 013a 6y agoYes, its worth saying for context: The Nintendo Switch runs on an Nvidia ARM core. They're capable of pretty great performance in the right contexts, and the industry definitely needs more consumer-accessible HPC-focused ARM competition what with Apple leading the charge on "everything to ARM". Microsoft has also shown interest, with the SPX, but we need processors more capable than what Qualcomm is producing; I'm hopeful Nvidia can help fill that gap in the next five years.
