About this tag
The amazon ec2 tag covers hardware performance comparisons across AWS general-purpose instance families. Recent coverage examines AWS Graviton5, AMD EPYC Turin, Intel Xeon 6 Granite Rapids, and the earlier Graviton4 generation using 4xlarge instances with 64GB of memory. The reported tests place Graviton5 ahead of the Xeon offering, while AMD EPYC Turin delivers the strongest overall results in the comparison. The workloads ran on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS with Linux 7.0 and GCC 15.2, providing context for how these processor platforms perform under a consistent software environment. This archive is useful for tracking Amazon EC2 CPU benchmarking and instance-generation comparisons.
