AWS On Air ft. AWS Graviton3 Processors and Amazon EC2 C7g Instances
summary
Graviton3 powers new C7g instances in preview (us-east-1, us-west-2) and claims roughly ~25% compute improvement over Graviton2 with a 50% boost on vectorized x264 transcoding tests; processor is Arm64 so high‑level apps (Python, Java, Node) run unchanged while C/C++/Rust require recompilation—Epic Games ports a large C++ engine in about a week as an example. Managed services already on Graviton include RDS (MySQL 8), Aurora, ElastiCache, EMR and OpenSearch; containers use multi-arch images/manifest lists. Graviton3 also reports up to 60% energy savings versus equivalent x86 instances.
