- AWS presents R8I servers tuned for work loads in the business cloud of memory.
- Destination databases of the custom Xeon chips of Intel and massive tasks of cloud data
- Memory bandwidth defines new Intel servers with AWS for demanding applications
Intel has received some positive news after Amazon Web Services (AWS) confirmed that it is implementing new virtual server options built in personalized versions of Intel Xeon 6 processors.
These new options, known as R8I and R8i-Flex, will give AWS customers additional options to rent computer energy through the cloud.
For Intel, this marks a rare victory at a time when rivals like AMD and ARM -based processors have been capturing more in the market.
What really R8I and R8I-Flex really?
AWS said both R8I and R8I-Flex support “DDR5 7200mt/s” and can run “turbo frequency up to 3.9 GHz All-Core”.
The R8I family covers a wide range, expanding only two to 384 VCPU, which coincides with the ability of double socket fed by XEON 6 of 96 Intel nuclei, since AWS defines a VCPU as a thread of a nucleus.
While AWS has not revealed more details of what makes these personalized xeons different, the approach to memory bandwidth seems to be the defining factor for these implementations.
AWS is marketing the new instances for cases of memory use, including the SQL and NOSQL databases, the caches in memory such as Memcached and Redis, the SAP Hana implementations and data frames such as Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark.
Customers also have the option to adjust how the bandwidth is distributed between the network functions and the elastic connections of the Amazon block store, which AWS suggests that it can provide performance improvements in the measurable database.
This positioning reflects how cloud accommodation and cloud storage depend more and more on the optimized hardware to handle large -scale workloads, particularly those related to the planning of analysis and business resources.
Hyperscala suppliers such as Oracle have previously promoted unique XEON settings with additional clocks or slightly faster watch speeds, while AWS has highlighted previous intelized processors rounds.
The arrival of these new Xeons, therefore, fits into an established pattern, but still shows that Intel remains relevant to large -scale suppliers.
Memory bandwidth improvements, although it is not a complete architectural review, are enough for AWS to publicly promote chips as competitive within their portfolio.
For Intel, this order indicates the continuous dependence of a crucial client at a time when alternative architectures such as EPYC and AMD ARM -based designs are gaining ground.
For AWS, it expands the range of performance options available for customers whose work loads require high memory performance and stable performance in large groups.
In an era where AI tools and demand data processing, Intel is not completely losing; It still has a place in the core of the cloud infrastructure.
