Phoronix: Amazon Graviton3 Benchmarks - Nice Performance Uplift With AWS EC2 C7g

At the end of last year Amazon announced their new Graviton3 processors with around 25% more compute performance than their prior Graviton2 AArch64 processors, up to 2x the FP and crypto performance, DDR5 system memory support, and other improvements to their in-house processor for the AWS cloud. Yesterday the C7g instances reached general availability for making Graviton3 processors available to AWS customers. Here are some initial benchmarks.

Can one purchase these on Amazon? ㅋㅋㅋ

Sadly, not.

It would be great to have some power consumption figures to get a sense of the power efficiency of the N1 vs V1 vs x86 competition.

why Google is so behind arm server, they literally maintain android and chromeos which are arm heavy ? even Oracle has arm server as option ?

It's not exposed under the VM unfortunately.

Pretty old toolchain version for such a new cpu, can probably get a few % more perf with newer tools.

Yep that's the default for Amazon Linux 2. Though with the AMD / Intel / Graviton comparison using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with its toolchain and newer components.

They are reportedly working on it: https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics...pute-at-google


But even if that fizzles out, there are some stealthy companies (other than Ampere) working on ARM designs they might want for HPC instances, like SiPearl's Rhea or a Fujitsu A64FX successor.

The power consumption is believed to be around 100W like the previous generation, allowing them to be packed extremely densely (3 next to each other!).
