Graviton processors from Amazon Web Services can only be accessed in the cloud, but Phoronix managed to benchmark the latest Graviton4 and compare it to rivals from AMD and Intel. As it turns out, the AWS Graviton4 chip offers massive generation-to-generation improvements over its predecessor and can beat AMD's EPYC 'Genoa' and Intel Xeon 'Sapphire Rapids' in a variety of benchmarks.
Amazon's Graviton4 packs 96 Arm Neoverse V2 cores with 2MB of L2 cache per core and features 12 channels for DDR5-5600 memory, making it a very powerful CPU for a variety of workloads. Amazon Web Services offers Graviton4 for R8g instances, which provide up to three times more virtual CPUs (vCPUs) and triple the memory compared to the existing R7g instances.
