Wait, how could "50% more cores, and 75% more memory bandwidth" result in anything less than 50% of better compute performance?

- snewman 3y agoBecause AWS doesn't rent you chips, it rents you cores. If a chip has 50% more cores, that doesn't help you as a renter of cores, just means they get to rent out more cores. Of course it might give Amazon room to offer these instances at a lower hourly rate per core, which would ultimately cash out as improved cost/performance for AWS customers.
