CPU-Only Compute Still Matters To A Lot Of HPC Centers
After three decades of gradual adoption, cloud providers are now offering CPU‑only HPC instances that can compete with on‑premise clusters. Amazon Web Services introduced the HPC8a family, built on AMD’s latest Turin EPYC 9R15 processors and delivering 192 physical cores across two sockets. By disabling simultaneous multithreading and increasing memory‑controller count with DDR5, the HPC8a achieves up to 40 % more memory‑bandwidth‑limited performance than the previous Genoa‑based HPC7a. AWS also retains the 300 Gb/s EFA‑2 network, while pricing reflects a 25 % price‑performance advantage.
