It is, except when it isn't. T2 etc are burstable and each vCPU seems to be guaranteed only 10% of a CPU thread(/core), even while it's called a "vCPU".

So, in AWS (and most others), a vCPU is something between nothing and one single thread, depending on how much you pay for it.

I wonder why IBM doesn’t do more with POWER10 in their cloud, because each core can go up to, IIRC, 8 threads.

Same for Oracle, BTW, but they are no longer investing on SPARC, just milking until it dries up completely.
