IDK what chips you are talking about, all x86 (which I assume is most of their compute) is Intel or AMD. If they make their own they are only making the ARM instances.

AWS has three processors: Graviton, Inferentia, and Trainium. They're made in-house.

And none of the above are x86. Even if they're making their own silicon, it is for specialized use (ML) and not general server provisioning.
