The cloud computing company of Amazon.com announced this Tuesday (30) two processors designed to surpass the cost performance presented by chips from Intel e Nvidia.
With revenues of $45.37 billion in 2020, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s largest provider of cloud computing services and one of the largest buyers of chips for data centers, whose processing power AWS leases to its customers.
Since buying a startup called Annapurna Labs in 2015, AWS has been working to develop its own processors.
This Tuesday, the company introduced the third generation of the “Graviton” chip, designed to compete with processors from Intel and AMD.
The “Graviton3” is 25% faster than its predecessor, and Amazon vice president Dave Brown said the company expects the processor to perform better per dollar than Intel’s chips.
AWS also announced that a new Trainium chip class, designed to train machine learning models and which will compete against Nvidia chips, will soon be available to customers.
AWS expects the chip to enable a 40% reduction in the cost of training machine learning models than Nvidia’s main processor.
