AWS's near-complete depletion of AI infrastructure capacity is forcing Amazon to monetize Graviton chips through wholesale rack deployments—a structural shift that treats custom silicon as a margin-driver rather than just a competitive advantage. Hyperscalers can no longer absorb all custom chip production internally and are now competing with NVIDIA's supply chains by selling directly to enterprise customers. The move bets that Graviton can compete on performance-per-dollar for non-training workloads, but it risks commoditizing the one technical moat that justifies AWS's premium positioning against cheaper cloud alternatives.
