you do released that this is not an apple to apple comparison, don't you?
First gen Graviton was created specifically for ec2's A1 instances where performance is not the goal. Amazon designed the chip with a well defined & targeted market in mind, they delivered just that. Tell me which half decent org is going to use this 64 cores junk?
You also realize that Graviton can afford to go from a relatively slow gen1 to the current gen4 in just 4-5 years largely due to the fact that they licensed the cores from ARM which has been building this whole ARM stuff for 30 years. Tell me what makes you to believe that some random & unknown newcomers can duplicate such progress without paying all those extremely expensive & time consuming efforts?
The concerned core is built by a group known for selling fake stuff online, historically and statistically, those people don't build the next gen tech.
> except this has 64 cores while the Graviton has 16.
gluing together more highly inefficient cores is not rocket science.
- brucehoult 3y agoIt is absolutely apples to apples. The SG2042 is the first RISC-V server chip, with much the same goals as the first Graviton. It's not going to take 4-5 years for RISC-V server chips to match x86 (and Arm). They'll be there three years from now, by the end of 2026. Those designs are already in the pipeline, made by many of the same people who previously designed the fastest chips at AMD, Intel, and Apple.
