- pantulis 12y agoNever mind, this must be it: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/13/amazons_new_ec2_compute_instances_run_on_secret_intel_chips/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/13/amazons_new_ec2_comp...
- mattzito 12y agoThere was another article that suggested they were manufactured specifically to amazon's standards for things like cooling and power stability. Instead of having to run in a wide range of environments, they can be designed to run in just the narrow range of Amazon's environment.
