AWS does not use SOTA anything due to their rigorous testing. I’m not criticizing this…it would be dumb for them to run bleeding edge anything.

- jeffbee 4y agoThe price I quoted is for the m6i RDS instances which use the very latest Xeon that Intel has ever marketed. You are free to speculate as to whether the Graviton is more SOTA than Ice Lake Xeon, but I know which one I will choose for straight line performance.
- qeternity 4y agoIt’s absolutely not the latest Xeon…but also Amazon launched m6i in Aug 2021 and Ice Lake was released in 2019. The latest Xeons are Rocket Lake based.
- jeffbee 4y agoWeird take since Rocket Lake is identical microarchitecturally to Ice Lake. The difference is scale: there are no 2S RKL, and the biggest part has only 8 cores. It's a workstation/small business server part.
- qeternity 4y agoYou're moving the goalposts. It's not a weird take, I'm not criticizing Amazon. But they do not run bleeding edge. It would be irresponsible of them.
