AWS Graviton2 Processor AWSI have been in and around processors for nearly 30 years as a systems OEM, search engine provider, chipmaker, and now CEO of analysis and research company Moor Insights & Strategy. In preview today, AWS announced its new 6th Generation EC2 instances, led by its Arm-based Graviton2. AWS announced that its M6g instances offer nearly “40% higher performance at 20% lower cost equating to a 40% improved price/performance” than its own M5 instances. So, if I’m an AWS customer, what can I run on the Arm-based M6g instances? The other thing to consider is that the AWS Graviton2 chip was architected to work inside its own AWS datacenter architecture, not the millions of variants of enterprise datacenters.
