But you can’t source the M1 for another product. If you could you’d see them in servers already as they (or at least their performance cores) would be fantastic chips for many server workloads. That was my point. Diversity doesn’t matter. It’s diversity of what can be sourced on the open market that matters.

You do know that Graviton is essentially a slightly modified Arm Neoverse core or that you can buy an Ampere CPU based on Neoverse today or that Qualcomm and Nvidia will almost certainly be launching competitive Arm based server chips in the near future. Nothing to stop other vendors coming in and licensing Neoverse too. So tell me that isn’t a more open market than say 3 years ago when you basically had to buy Intel. I find these arguments bizarre - we’ve had many, many years of Intel monopoly on the desktop and server and finally we have some competitors and people are worried about the market being closed up? Seriously?
