Amazon developed the Arm-based Graviton processors for Amazon Web Services, combining cloud infrastructure with internally designed computing hardware.
AWS introduced the first-generation Graviton processor in 2018. Graviton chips are based on Arm architecture and are designed to provide AWS customers with an alternative to x86-based cloud instances.
Amazon's Annapurna Labs subsidiary develops custom silicon for AWS. The company has also created processors and networking hardware aimed at improving the performance and efficiency of its cloud data centers.
Graviton is an AWS product family, not a separate public company. Amazon's retail business, logistics network, advertising operation, and cloud division all contribute to the value investors assign to the parent company.
