AWS has released Amazon EC2 M9g and M9gd instances powered by Graviton5 processors that deliver up to 25% better compute performance than Graviton4. The new silicon targets surging demand for CPU compute in agentic AI while expanding AWS's already massive Graviton footprint across more than 120,000 customers.
It is the first CPU in the AWS fleet to support PCIe Gen6 and DDR5-8800 memory, delivering the fastest memory of any processor instances in the cloud.
Meta is deploying Graviton at scale starting with tens of millions of cores to support its agentic AI efforts.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.
Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.
Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
