Description
What it is and what it is for
AI-assisted draft · independently checked
Every computer relies on a central processor, a chip whose circuitry executes the instructions of a program, and cloud companies run them in data centres. The challenge is getting a lot of useful work from each chip while using less energy and money. AWS Graviton is a family of processors that Amazon Web Services designed for the workloads running on its Amazon EC2 cloud servers, and AWS Graviton4 is one processor in that series. AWS describes Graviton4 as an energy-efficient processor and as part of its series of custom chip designs.
