AWS Graviton5-Based CPU Now Available, First to Support PCIe Gen6 and DDR5-8800 Memory

AWS has announced that Amazon EC2 M9g and M9gd instances powered by new AWS Graviton5 processors are now available. Both of them are powered by Graviton5, the most powerful and most energy efficient processor AWS has ever built. With 192 cores, a 5x larger L3 cache, up to 33% lower inter-core latency, and DDR5 memory delivering high bandwidth, Graviton5 helps agents spend less time waiting on CPU-bound steps, processing more instructions, handling large numbers of concurrent environments, and keeping accelerators moving. As the first CPU in the AWS fleet to support the latest generation of PCIe Gen6 and DDR5-8800 memory, AWS Graviton5 instances deliver the fastest memory of any processor instances in the cloud, and 5 times more L3 cache compared to the previous generation.
