AWS Graviton Savings Calculator

Compare costs between Graviton and other EC2 instance types

What is AWS Graviton?

AWS Graviton processors are custom built by Amazon Web Services using 64-bit Arm Neoverse cores. These processors are designed to deliver the best price performance for your cloud workloads running in Amazon EC2.

Graviton-based instances can provide up to 40% better price performance over comparable current generation x86-based instances for a wide variety of workloads.

Cost Efficiency

Graviton instances offer significant cost savings compared to equivalent x86 instances, with up to 40% better price-performance.

Energy Efficiency

Arm-based Graviton processors are more energy-efficient, resulting in lower power consumption and reduced carbon footprint.

Performance

Optimized for cloud workloads, Graviton instances provide excellent performance for containerized microservices, web servers, and data processing tasks.

Wide Compatibility

Most applications written in high-level languages (Python, Node.js, Java, Ruby, PHP, Go, .NET Core) run seamlessly on Graviton.
