Amazon Web Services unveiled Graviton5, a next-generation ARM-based processor designed to deliver higher performance and energy efficiency for AI-adjacent workloads. While not a GPU, Graviton5 is optimized for preprocessing, analytics, microservices, and the operational layers surrounding training and inference. The launch highlights AWS’s strategy of vertically integrating the silicon stack to improve margins and reduce dependence on third-party suppliers, signaling a continued shift toward cloud-native compute ecosystems.
