Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
If AMZN's chips achieve broader language compatibility, AWS AI workloads could shift demand away from Nvidia, potentially improving AMZN's pricing power and capex efficiency. Historical parallels include Nvidia's datacenter growth tied to cloud adoption, where a software-friendly hardware approach can unlock incremental demand, though execution risk remains high.
