Amazon Graviton Processor
Enabling a price performance choice in Amazon EC2
Overview
Amazon Graviton processors are designed by Amazon Web Services to deliver a price performance choice for your cloud workloads running in Amazon EC2.
Amazon Graviton2 processors deliver a major leap in performance and capabilities over first-generation Amazon Graviton processors. Graviton2-based instances provide significant performance gains and cost savings for workloads in Amazon EC2. Graviton2-based instances support a wide range of general purpose, burstable, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated computing workloads including application servers, microservices, high-performance computing (HPC), CPU-based machine learning (ML) inference, video encoding, electronic design automation, gaming, open-source databases, and in-memory caches. Many Amazon Web Services services, including Amazon Aurora、Amazon RDS、Amazon MemoryDB、Amazon ElastiCache、Amazon OpenSearch、Amazon EMR、Amazon Codebuild、Amazon DocumentDB and Amazon Neptune also support Graviton2-based instances for a fully managed experience with significant price performance benefits.
Amazon Graviton3 processors provide up to 25% better compute performance, up to 2x higher floating-point performance, and up to 2x faster cryptographic workload performance compared to Amazon Graviton2 processors. Amazon Graviton3 processors deliver up to 3x better performance compared to Amazon Graviton2 processors for ML workloads, including support for bfloat16. They also support DDR5 memory that provides 50% more memory bandwidth compared to DDR4. This improvement provides higher performance benefits for HPC applications.
Amazon Graviton4 processors are the latest in the Amazon Graviton processor family. Graviton4-based Amazon EC2 instances deliver the high performance and energy efficiency for a broad range of workloads running on Amazon EC2. These instances offer larger instance sizes with up to 3x more vCPUs and memory compared to Graviton3-based instances. Amazon Graviton4 processors are up to 40% faster for databases, 30% faster for web applications, and 45% faster for large Java applications than Amazon Graviton3 processors.
