The shift to cloud-based workloads (with oversubscribed CPUs and mandatory networked storage) means that a lot of people lost track of just how fast physical hardware (even mid-range consumer-grade) has become.
- paulmd 3y agoThat’s also a deliberate thing - cloud providers have consciously avoided increasing the per-unit performance of a vcpu, you still get the same Sandy Bridge performance in 2024 as you did in 2012. They actually go all the way to the extent of having AMD design them smaller, higher-density “cloud” cores that don’t clock as high, to avoid ever increasing that vcpu unit.
