It's not new, graviton that you can use yourself is on the 4th generation. And they've used it to accelerate networking and storage long before that. Most managed services already run on it as well. It's cheaper and faster.
- LunaSea 2y agoGraviton cores are definitely not faster. The core frequencies are too low for heavy usage and I suspect that the caches are too small as well. You can easily benchmark this by comparing the Graviton variants with the Intel specific instances. Graviton 4 has also not been made available for EC2 and RDS instance types in most regions two years after release. My guess is that they are unable to scale production.
- otterley 2y agoGraviton 4 was just GAed 3 months ago. You need to run actual workloads that fully utilize all cores and not benchmarks to understand the value of Graviton. People don’t run benchmarks in production; they run real business applications. Graviton is optimized for horizontal scale, not straight line single core performance.
