ARMs Race: Ampere Altra takes on the AWS Graviton2

The text discusses a comparison between the Ampere Altra Q80-30 and AWS Graviton2, both of which are Neoverse N1-based processors designed for server use. The author found that the Ampere Altra outperforms the AWS Graviton2 in both single and multi-core performance due to its higher operating frequency and greater number of cores. Additionally, the Ampere Altra was found to consume less power than expected, which could lead to more flexibility in server deployment. The author is currently assessing the Altra's performance against their existing fleet of servers and working with Ampere to define an ARM edge server based on the Altra for potential large-scale deployment.
