No benchmarks. No FLOPs. No comparison to commodity hardware. I hate the cloud servers. "9 is faster than 8 which is faster than 7 which is faster than 6, ..., which is faster than 1, which has unknown performance".

If only dedicated game servers could run on aarch64...

I've been experimenting FEX on Ampere A1 with x86 game servers but the performance is not that impressed

General purpose not AI specific? I can't believe it.

Is there a list of Geekbench performance metrics for the various Graviton CPUs?

I need a reference point so I can compare it to Intel/AMD and Apple's ARM cpus.

Otherwise it is buzzwords and superlatives. I need numbers so I can understand.

In Amazon's Graviton 5 PR they note that over half of all new compute capacity added to AWS over the past three years has been Graviton-based. That's an amazing stat.

It really is incredible how ARM basically commoditized processors (in a good way).

Awhile back I was researching cloud instances for performance, And I noticed that AWS didn't have the latest generations of AMD/Intel. Which are far superior to Graviton 4.

It seems obvious to me that AWS using their market dominance to shift workloads to Graviton.

>Best price performance

Don't they still offer free nano EC2s? This is not a better price than $0.
