> Why would Amazon develop a custom Arm chip and not RISC-V? The first Graviton was launched in 2018, which means it was in development and manufacturing even earlier. You couldn't build a high performance RISC-V chip back then. Even in 2023, RISC-V is significantly behind ARM/x86 in performance and software support isnt great either (for example, Debian has supported Arm for over a decade, but RISC-V support only arrived a few weeks ago).
