AWS Graviton Weekly # 100


Issue # 100: August 9, 2024 to August 16, 2024

Hey Reader.

Welcome to Issue # 100 of AWS Graviton Weekly, which will be focused on sharing everything that happened in the past week related to AWS Silicon: from August 9, 2024 to August, 16, 2024.

Wow. 100 editions of AWS Graviton Weekly. It has been a challenging journey, but here we are.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for being there always. I'm very proud of the work I'm doing with this newsletter, but more important: are the incredible messages you have sent about how one or two resources has helped your team to take advantage of AWS Silicon in your company.

That's my main goal here: to spread the word about it and help you saving some buck in AWS billing every year.

It's just Day One for AWS Graviton Weekly. We are just getting started.

I just wanted to make a simple request for you:

  • Do you have any idea how to make this newsletter better?
  • How can I provide more value to you?

Reply to this email with your thoughts, ideas, or simly to say hi. I will be reading each answer. Thanks

Back to the regular stuff.

The numbers are mind blowing

Since many of Amazon.com services such as Rufus and Search use AWS artificial intelligence (AI) chips under the hood, Amazon deployed a cluster of over 80,000 Inferentia
and Trainium chips for Prime Day. During Prime Day 2024, Amazon used over 250K AWS Graviton chips to power more than 5,800 distinct Amazon.com services (double that of 2023)
