- kova12 7y agoAWS is running on very thin margins, and every couple precent in extra productivity could easily mean doubling profits.
- sanxiyn 7y ago> AWS is running on very thin margins Incorrect. Amazon is a public company, and their own report tells us that AWS margin is 25%, as of 2019 Q3.
- notatoad 7y agoI'm guessing power is the big one. A marginally cheaper cpu is not that big of a deal, but a cpu that costs marginally less per hour to run will save them a lot at scale.
