AWS Graviton Processors
AWS Graviton processors are custom-designed by AWS to enable the best
price performance for a wide variety of Linux-based applications in Amazon
EC2. The latest generation AWS Graviton3 processors provide up to 25 percent
better compute performance³ over AWS Graviton2 processors, which already
enabled up to 40 percent better price performance over comparable x86-
based instances. Further, AWS Graviton3-based instances are highly energy-
efficient, using up to 60 percent less energy for the same performance than
comparable Amazon EC2 instances powered by other processors. In addition
to Amazon EC2, many AWS services, including Amazon Aurora, Amazon
ElastiCache, Amazon EMR, AWS Fargate, and AWS Lambda, also support AWS
Graviton2-based instances for a fully managed experience with significant
price performance benefits.
AWS Inferentia and AWS Trainium
The AWS Inferentia and AWS Trainium chips are custom-designed by AWS to
push the price-performance envelope for deep learning applications. The AWS
Inferentia chip is designed to provide high-performance machine learning
inference in the cloud while driving down the total cost of inference. AWS
Inferentia-based Amazon EC2 Inf1 instances deliver up to 70 percent lower
cost per inference than comparable current generation GPU-based Amazon
EC2 instances. Meanwhile, the AWS Trainium chip provides the best price
performance for training deep learning models in the cloud. It also offers the
highest performance with the most compute power for the fastest machine
learning training in Amazon EC2.
