不過 Intel 這邊的有照片,居然是兩位 CEO 的合照,下面提到在 Lenovo Tech World 拍的:

除了這兩家以外,還包括了兩位大老以及業界同行:
Luminaries Linus Torvalds and Tim Sweeney join founding members Broadcom, Dell, Google, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HP Inc., Lenovo, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, and Red Hat.
Amazon EC2 now allows customers to modify an instance’s CPU options after launch. You can now modify the number of vCPUs and/or disable the hyperthreading of a stopped EC2 instance to save on vCPU-based licensing costs.
以往要大量記憶體的會用 r 系列的主機,vCPU:RAM-GB 比率是 1:8,如果要再更高的話有最近推出的 x 系列,可以到 1:16。
There is no additional or reduced charge for specifying CPU options. You're charged the same as instances that are launched with the default CPU options.
1 TB of data transfer out to the internet per month
10,000,000 HTTP or HTTPS Requests per month
2,000,000 CloudFront Function invocations per month
2,000,000 CloudFront KeyValueStore reads per month
不過目前沒有太多區域有,但頗意外的是德國法蘭克福居然在第一波,而不是愛爾蘭:
X8g instances are available today in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Frankfurt) AWS Regions in On Demand, Spot, Reserved Instance, Savings Plan, Dedicated Instance, and Dedicated Host form.
Microsoft also unveiled the name for its new x86 translation layer for Windows on ARM: Prism. Microsoft told Ars Technica that Prism is as fast as Apple’s Rosetta 2, which is interesting because Apple’s M series chips contain special silicon to speed up the translation process, making me wonder if Qualcomm has done the same, or is just brute-forcing it.
看起來之前 Windows 平板上跑 x86 應用程式很慢的痛點有機會改善?另外不知道技術相似度如何,有沒有機會看到細節分析...
