Does anyone have any insight into the Graviton 3? I'm fascinated by their single precision floating point which can be useful for some ML models.

- BeeOnRope 5y agoIt looks like a strong chip. They are pretty much jumping one or two x86 generations with every release, sort of like what Apple did for many generations in a row starting with the A6 or whatever. One difference here is that Amazon isn't actually designing the cores: they are using Arm reference designs: in this case the N1 Neoverse, and building around that.
- sydthrowaway 5y agoAmazon bought Annapurna though - why aren’t they building from scratch?
- BeeOnRope 5y agoThey may do it at some point, but perhaps the path of least resistance so far is to use the existing core designs, which are not bad at all and getting better and spending their effort on the uncore and offcore components which don't have off-the-shelf designs just sitting there and which are very important for server parts?
- ksec 5y agoOh Gosh we are in April already and Graviton 3 was announced 4 - 5 months ago? I was hoping we have pricing and more performance figure by now.
