AWS pipped AMD and Intel to the first CPU supporting PCIe 6.0, and you can now finally rent it by the hour (but…
- AWS becomes the first cloud provider offering rentable PCIe 6.0 processors
- Graviton5 combines 192 Arm cores with 96 PCIe lanes
- Memory bandwidth exceeds 800GB/s across AWS's latest server platform
AWS has quietly achieved a milestone that neither AMD nor Intel reached first in commercially available cloud infrastructure by deploying a PCIe 6.0-capable processor.
The company's Graviton5 CPU is now generally available through Amazon EC2 M9g and M9gd instances, allowing customers to rent PCIe 6.0 hardware by the hour.
While that development sounds significant on paper, practical benefits remain difficult to identify for most users at the current stage of deployment.
PCIe 6.0 arrives in the cloud before it reaches most hardware
Graviton5 was developed by Annapurna Labs and adopts a chiplet design built on TSMC's 3nm manufacturing process technology.
The processor combines four compute dies containing 48 Arm v3 cores each, bringing the total core count to 192.
