That is nice, but where is Graviton3? Graviton2 is two years old by now, it can hardly compete on performance and power any longer.

- imwillofficial 5y agoInteresting take, what metrics are you using for this conclusion?
- thecompilr 5y agoI mean it was pretty competitive almost two years ago, but AMD made a huge leap since then. Not sure why saying a two year old CPU is outdated is a controversial take. https://www.anandtech.com/show/15578/cloud-clash-amazon-graviton2-arm-against-intel-and-amd https://www.anandtech.com/show/15578/cloud-clash-amazon-grav...
- jeppesen-io 5y agoI'ma little confused - the conclusion was this > In terms of value, the Graviton2 seemingly ends up with top grades and puts the competition to shame Also, two years it's not very old in the cloud space. Takes time to ramp up a new instance type
- acdha 5y agoOne thing to remember is that cloud people are usually most concerned with price / performance. This is especially true with Fargate, where these are almost always running in an auto-scaling friendly scenario and usually things like RAM and I/O are at least as important as pure CPU. Looking at things in terms of dollars / hour for your app tends to soften out the outdated impact unless you have a very compute-heavy workload.
- imwillofficial 5y agoI didn’t say your take was outdated. I said it was interesting and was curious to know more.
- gnulinux 5y agoWhy does it matter if it's significantly cheaper?
- thecompilr 5y agoIt doesn’t matter. That wasn’t a bash against Graviton 2, I am just really looking toward the next generation, because I think it will be so much better, but sadly no announcements yet.
- cowsandmilk 5y agoSince graviton is typically a reinvent announcement, I would guess you should wait a week.
