Issue # 82: April 5, 2024 to April 12, 2024Hey Reader. Welcome to Issue # 82 of AWS Graviton Weekly, which will be focused on sharing everything that happened in the past week related to AWS Silicon: from April 5, 2024, to April 12, 2024. This week has been very quiet related to AWS Silicon because most headlines were occupied by Google Next, especially the new Arm-based CPU called Axion, which looks very interesting and promising. But one thing I noticed was that more and more times we will see AWS Silicon present in Amazon's shareholders' letters by Andy Jassy "Shifting to AWS, we started 2023 seeing substantial cost optimization, with most companies trying to save money in an uncertain economy. Much of this optimization was catalyzed by AWS helping customers use the cloud more efficiently and leverage more powerful, price-performant AWS capabilities like Graviton chips (our generalized CPU chips that provide up to ~40% better price-performance than other leading x86 processors)". "The past year was also a significant delivery year for AWS. We announced our next generation of generalized CPU chips (Graviton4), which provides up to 30% better compute performance and 75% more memory bandwidth than its already-leading predecessor (Graviton3)." Arm is becoming ubiquitous to cloud-focused CPUs. The future looks bright for them and the whole ecosystem. This is why I'm investing a lot of time creating an amazing Notion-based content library focused on ARM custom chips on the cloud (Graviton, AmpereOne, Trainium, Inferentia, Cobalt, and now Axion). It hasn't been easy, dedicating more than 780 hours to curate, review, organize, and tag more than 2,500 resources related to ARM custom chips. But unfortunately, it's not ready yet. A sneak peek? Stay tuned for the next week and you will be the first to know. Back to biz Tool of the week: CAST AIIf you are using Kubernetes on the cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure), according to a new report from CAST AI, perhaps you are overspending on Kubernetes; and right now, every penny overspent; it's a penny that you can't use to what truly matters: growing your company and services. CAST AI is the "magic wand" your company needs to save up to 60 percent of your Kubernetes-related cloud bills. Believe me: you will thank me later. NEWS
