That should also mean doubled CPU performance which might be important for some workloads as well!

Edit: From the docs:

> Functions larger than 1536MB are allocated multiple CPU threads, and multi-threaded or multi-process code is needed to take advantage of the additional performance.

Yup! You get 2 CPU cores instead of just one! (disclaimer, AWS Serverless Developer Advocate)

So does this mean that if I pick a Lambda with 1600MB I get twice as much CPU than a 1536MB one?
