Current obstacles

Ecosystem adoptionMost production software is written and optimized for x86-64 (Intel/AMD). ARM requires rebuilds and sometimes code changes.

How it works

2 parts

Neoverse V3 core

Latest ARM high-performance architecture

Graviton5 uses ARM's Neoverse V3 architecture, featuring wider instruction execution, larger caches, and better branch prediction than V2.

3nm manufacturing

Latest process node

3nm provides higher transistor density and lower power per operation, enabling both higher clock speeds and better power efficiency.

About Amazon

The team behind Graviton5

Amazon

Prime Air drones, AWS silicon, cloud computing, robotics

Amazon operates AWS, the world's leading cloud platform with custom AI accelerators (Trainium, Inferentia), quantum chips and servers. Amazon Robotics runs the largest robot fleet deployed. Prime Air delivers packages by drone.

AWS leads enterprise cloud with 1M+ deployed robots. Prime Air delivers to 500 US cities, hundreds of thousands of packages in 2026.
Custom silicon: Trainium/Inferentia accelerators, Graviton ARM CPUs, cat-qubit chips. Project Rainier (500k Trainium2) trains Claude.
Pieter Abbeel leads frontier model work, due re:Invent 2026. Kiro agentic IDE inverts coding: specs are source, code is artifact.
