AWS do the same: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/x1/

Interestingly, AWS have X1 and X1E-class EC2 offerings, two of which are significantly larger than this new Google offering.

So -80 % memory for 0-5 % more compute throughput?

...but curious to see the performance gain on SAP (or similar) workloads with a new CPU architecture. RAM is the bottleneck typically.

I think their latest instances were 4 socket Broadwell.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.
