Amazon uses custom product numbered Xeons. So I wouldn't be surprised if they get the same advantage + their own optimizations in short term. Intel wouldn't risk to annoy AWS, they are a far bigger customer than Google.
- bogomipz 10y ago>"Intel wouldn't risk to annoy AWS, they are a far bigger customer than Google." Do you have a citation or something showing such numbers? What is this statement based on?
- bhouston 10y agoAWS is bigger in general access Cloud, but could Google be bigger in terms of raw CPU numbers to power all of its internal services?
- bestes 10y agoThe optimization Amazon wanted (and got) was related to CPU cores, not early next-gen chips. I always assumed it was a way to sell more "dedicated cores" per socket. It might be exclusive, but Google, Facebook and enterprises would not be interested unless the overall chip was more powerful.
