Several years ago, when we started pursuing building our own chips, a lot of folks thought this was nuts. We heard a lot of the same refrains you often hear—why make this investment, why invest in a team and all the other fixed costs to develop your own chip when you can buy from other suppliers? And, while we knew we’d partner with those other companies for the foreseeable future, if your customers are telling you they’re thirsty for better price-performance, and you’re driven by what makes customers’ lives better and easier every day, you explore options to make it so. We realized pretty quickly that designing our own chips was going to be the best path to delivering this value for customers. We were lucky to find and join forces with the amazing Annapurna Labs team, who started with a chip (named Nitro) that offloaded security, networking, and some other virtualization functions from our servers so customers could use more of the server than they could before. Then, that team built a generalized CPU chip, Graviton, which has been very popular and impactful for customers, before embarking on building custom AI chips—Trainium (for training) and Inferentia (for inference)—which are also off to a strong start. Am very excited about our most recent chip releases at AWS re: Invent: Graviton4 and Trainium2. Graviton4 marks the fourth generation we’ve delivered in just five years (you can see the evolution from left to right in the image below), and it’s the most powerful and energy efficient multipurpose chip we have built to date. And with the surge of interest in generative AI, Trainium2 will help customers train their ML models faster, at a more advantaged price-performance. I’m really proud of the pace of innovation our teams are delivering on and what it is making possible for customers! aboutamazon.com/news/aws-rei…

💨Did you know Go 1.18 can run your applications up to 20% faster on AWS Graviton? This is *on top* of the performance gains you get by using Graviton2 and Graviton3 instances, at prices up to 20% less than x86 compute. aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute…

Always a good read - here's a blog post from James Hamilton on the AWS Graviton3-based C7g instance family launch #AWS #Graviton #Graviton3
AWS Graviton3 Processors are now generally available. The first platform is EC2 C7g with many more coming this year: perspectives.mvdirona.com/20…
🚨AWS Graviton3 is now generally available🚨 we've received lots of great feedback and look forward to seeing what customers build next! go check it out and let us know what you think... #AWS #Graviton3
Lift even the heaviest applications in the cloud.🏋️‍♀️✨💻 With #AWS Graviton3, Amazon EC2 C7g instances give you the power to process compute-intensive workloads—ideal for gaming, ad-serving, HPC, & more. That’s enough computing power to bend the bar. 👉 go.aws/3wENLzA
