I'm seeing lots of numbers here of throughput, latency and IO, all of which are great, but does anyone have any experience with cpu performance. Will a GCE High CPU machine beat an EC2 high CPU machine in straight flops?

It's KVM on Sandy Bridge; effectively the same as EC2 cluster compute. http://blog.zencoder.com/2012/07/23/first-look-at-google-com...

Under Raw Transcoding Speed: "Intel Xeon (Sandy Bridge – probably E5-2670) – 8 cores @ 2.60GHz" Also KVM: https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/faq and 2.6Ghz Sandy Bridge: https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/available_resourc...
