Amazon has been developing its Graviton chips, which perform non-AI computing tasks, for nearly a decade. The latest AI chips, Trainium and Inferentia, offer significant cost savings.
&#8220;The offering of up to 40%, 50% in some cases of improved price and performance means it should be half as expensive as running that same model with Nvidia,&#8221; said David Brown, Vice President of Compute and Networking at AWS, according to Reuters.
Sales at AWS, which accounts for almost 20% of Amazon&#8217;s total revenue, grew by 17% to $25 billion in the January-March quarter compared to the previous year. AWS holds approximately one-third of the cloud computing market, with Microsoft&#8217;s Azure at about 25%.
