AWS Graviton4 96-Core Performance vs. AMD EPYC & Intel Xeon CPU Benchmarks
Overall from the mix of workloads tested on the Graviton4 96-core metal instance (r8g.metal-24xl) I was rather surprised and impressed by the performance of this Armv9.0 server processor. The performance was often competitive to Intel Sierra Forest / Emerald Rapids and AMD Genoa(X) / Bergamo. Though, unfortunately, was unable to provide any remote power results for Graviton4 due to no power sensors being exposed for the r8g.metal-24xl instance when testing.
For the mix of 32 benchmarks run, the Graviton4 processor overall was the most advanced AArch64 server performance we've seen to date. Hopefully we'll be getting our hands finally on AmpereOne soon for seeing how that AArch64 competition is fairing and all the more interesting due to hands on access with power monitoring with those chips set to be available in the retail channel compared to Graviton4 just running in the confines of AWS.
Graviton4 is performing quite well up against current Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC wares but will be very interesting to re-visit after Granite Rapids, AmpereOne, and Turin.
