It would be interesting to have apples-to-apples comparisons between Graviton and x86-based instances, as the price/performance gimmick reflects AWS's willingness to offer steep discounts to push their own line of processors.
- lizthegrey 4y agoHere's some x86 vs arm comparisons from 2020 substantiating "20% faster and 20% cheaper" -- https://www.honeycomb.io/blog/observations-on-arm64-awss-amazon-ec2-m6g-instances/ https://www.honeycomb.io/blog/observations-on-arm64-awss-ama... AWS isn't offering steep discounts IMO, they're reflecting the true cost to run the processors in terms of cost of licencing the processor IP and the cost of the power/cooling the processors require. I suspect they are getting better margins on the Graviton line than on the conventional Intel/AMD chips even after giving the relative price discount.
