In a cloud you typically pay for cores from a specific CPU type. Presumably any clouds at offer AMD cpus will price them in a competitive manner.
- cm2187 7y agoI thought they had a “cpu x or equivalent” kind of language, like rental cars.
- Benjamin_Dobell 7y agoYeah, it depends on what they deem to be equivalent. AWS already offer AMD cores, and they're 10% cheaper compared to Intel cores - https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/amd/ https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/amd/
- wmf 7y agoAWS mostly did away with that years ago; AFAIK first-tier cloud providers all promise a specific CPU model. And yes, and AMD vCPU is cheaper than an Intel vCPU.
