<a name="advperf02-bp05"></a>

 To address the low latency and high throughput needs of advertising workloads, consider adopting ARM architecture using AWS Graviton for improved performance and cost optimization.

## Implementation guidance
<a name="implementation-guidance-43"></a>

 Migrating to AWS Graviton processors can improve performance as a result of the following: 
+  **Faster processing:** Graviton uses 64-bit ARM Neoverse cores that are optimized for speed and efficiency in cloud workloads. Benchmarks show Graviton outperforming x86 instances for some workloads. 
+  **Lower latency:** The ARM architecture and custom memory subsystem in Graviton reduces latency for many operations compared to x86. This benefits real-time and latency-sensitive applications. 
+  **Improved throughput:** Graviton's support for new instructions like ARM Neon SIMD improves parallel processing throughput for workloads like video encoding and transcoding. 
+  **Enhanced networking:** Up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth from the Nitro chip provides high throughput for network-intensive apps. 
+ **Burstable performance:** Graviton's TDP and credits system allows workloads to burst performance as needed. 
+  **Accelerated compression:** Hardware-based compression provided by the Nitro chip speeds up compressed workloads. 
+  **Caching optimizations:** Graviton optimizes cache utilization and memory access, leading to gains for memory bound workloads.
