When Amazon Web Services unveiled its Graviton Arm processor in 2018, it was targeting loosely coupled scale-out workloads like web servers, log processing and caching with instances that appealed to customers like SmugMug who felt they were overpaying for premium compute when a smaller core would do the job. We wanted to signal to the ecosystem that Arm server chips were going to be real and we were going to be bringing them out.”
We offloaded all of our management control plane and ultimately in 2017, we got to a point where we use zero percent of that CPU.”
About a third of Graviton2 is the Arm core and the rest of that is custom silicon we designed,” Brown said.
His answer to that is that “customers should be thinking about the compatibility of workload end-to-end and the price/performance ratio when thinking about ARM vs. x86.”
