All I wanna know is how it compares to AWS Graviton2/3/4 instances. Axion needs to be cheaper, faster, or lower emissions to be worth even considering. Everything else is just talk and vendor lock in.
- ksec 2y agoGraviton2 is based on Neoverse N1. Graviton3 is based on Neoverse V1. The Graviton4, announced last year at AWS re:Invent. is based on Neoverse V2. So you should expect similar performance to EC2 R8g. I say similar because obviously there may be some difference with clock speed and cache size. It terms of x86. We are expecting AMD Zen 5c with 160 Core / 320 vCPU later this year.

- sapiogram 2y ago> lower emissions Do you know of any cloud providers that publish actual data for this? Preferably verifiable, but I'll take anything at this point.

- synack 2y agoGoogle published PUE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_usage_effectiveness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_usage_effectiveness) numbers a while ago, I haven’t seen anything that specific from Amazon. It’s difficult to quantify emissions because the power generation is mixed and changes based on demand. Water consumption should also be a factor, but there’s even less data available for that.
- my123 2y agoWhy vendor lock-in? It even uses the same CPU core as Graviton4, so it's clearly quite a fungible offering to me.
- synack 2y agoBy lock-in, I’m referring to my EC2 committed use savings plan that would prevent me from considering migrating to GCP until it expires next year, even if Google’s instances are quantifiably better.
- mcmcmc 2y agoWhy are you grousing about vendor lock in when you chose to sign an extended contract to get a better deal? You locked it in for them.
