Gravitron3 is just using ARM Neoverse-V1 (which AFAIK are years ahead of any RISC-V cores). So they aren't different from Qualcomm/Ampere have been doing so far. I think Ampere is planning to release a CPU with their own custom cores in the near future though. It's interesting whether Amazon will follow suite or not. It would be very bizarre if they tried switching to RISC-V in the near future though (I do find this semi -fanatical obsession with RISC-V a bit fascinating though but I don't think it's shared by many large corporations outside China..)
