AWS Boosts Memory Capacity On Graviton 4 Compute

UPDATED  With its Graviton 4 homegrown Graviton 4 Arm server processors, Amazon Web Services has put into the field a CPU that can compete with all but the toppest of bin parts from AMD for X86 CPUs and Ampere Computing and Nvidia for Arm CPUs, and it is driving price/performance that will in turn drive their adoption for Amazon’s various business units and for its IT infrastructure rental customers on AWS.

The Irony Of AWS Being Intel’s Latest Savior

Intel needs a whole lot of big wins for both its chip design and selling business and its increasingly arm’s length foundry business if it is going to turn itself around and be competitive with AMD and Nvidia on the left hand and with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co on its right.
