That's basically correct, we were trying to balance a few factors: - Total cost - Cost per core - Clock speed (this actually matters a lot for, say, a Python webapp) We chose to run only a single CPU in this box to keep the total cost of the box low. This slightly increase the cost per core (switch ports, the chassis, rack space, etc being basically fixed overhead per node), but by selling in smaller increments we think it we can keep the total cost lower for most users. We'll be gathering feedback on the resource balance, and iterating as we go.
