Cloud's New Performance Leader: Arm Beats x86

Arm Neoverse-based Graviton4 chips from AWS have set a new standard, outperforming AMD and Intel in both performance and price-performance Signal65 benchmarks.

In the realm of datacenter computing, the traditional performance gap has been inverted. For years, x86 processors from AMD and Intel were considered the reliable choice for cloud computing. Although Arm has been efficient and successful in mobile and edge markets, datacenter performance presented a more significant challenge.

A new analysis by the consulting firm Signal65 reveals that AWS's Arm Neoverse-powered Graviton4 chips not only lead in price-performance but also significantly surpass alternative x86 offerings from AMD and Intel in overall performance across enterprise workloads. This shift marks a significant change in the cloud computing performance landscape.

This represents a decisive shift in the cloud computing performance landscape.

Author's summary: Arm beats x86 in cloud performance.
