Thanks Chester, another great deep dive! Appreciate also the inclusion of the Graviton CPU instances, as Hyperscalers like AWS deploy more and more ARM-based servers. Question more related to the AWS rentals: what were (roughly) the relative expenses ( rentals) for the Xeons, the EPYC and AWS's own Graviton at comparable compute capabilities?
And, did you or George hear anything new about the status of the next generation Xeons? I believe it'll be critical for Intel to deliver both Panther Lake for notebooks and the next "Rapid" in 18 Angstrom in the next 6-9 months.
I didn't hear anything besides about Clearwater Forest (288 E-Cores), but I also don't keep up with the rumor mill. Logically they would want to put Lion Cove on the server side, with AVX-512 and AMX enabled just like with Redwood Cove on Xeon 6. Hopefully a public cloud will have an instance for rent when/if those show up.
Expense was high for the Xeon 6 one because I spent perhaps a bit more time than I should testing things, including failed experiments like "can I get more bandwidth via
