AWS’ Most Powerful Chip Ever: Exclusive Look at How We Tested It
The cloud market is led by Amazon Web Services (AMZN). Now Amazon (AMZN) wants to own the chips that power its cloud and profit by taking share in the chip market currently led by Nvidia (NVDA). Yahoo Finance has an exclusive first look at AWS’s latest chip, Graviton 4. What’s special about this latest chip? It’s the most powerful and efficient AWS chip ever.

This is intensifying competition between technology and semiconductor companies. Not only is the competition intensifying, it’s also driven by government incentives aimed at countering China and helping the U.S. regain its lead as the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer.
