Isn't the headline against the rule on HN?

AWS represent ~50% of hyperscaler. ~50% of EC2 are now on Graviton and limited by Fab capacity. It is a much bigger threat than AMD.

Their claimed performance above, probably better for everyone to make their own judgement.

Any quote for this number? I googled it but can't find source, and it isn't my experience either.

It was on one of the slides in ReInvent and I remember it was 4x%. But strange I cant find it either. ( I thought it would be easy ) The percentage was on new installation. Will dig this up once I have time to fact check.

Yep, it perhaps would have been better with a [Ask HN] title and the link in the post.
