The devil is in the details, you absolutely NEED to go to the providers SKU listing for each VM family and find what CPU model you will be renting.<p>You will have to wade through piles and piles of fucking ancient chips from 2015 and 2016 skylake/haswell/broadwell lines.<p>Even after you've found which machine type has the newest cpu you'll still find it's about 2 to 4 years behind the consumer market which is huge given the performance leaps in the past few generations.<p>Additionally, some machine families are literally a lottery which will hand out a random cpu modle from a pool of old as fuck chips with one newer chip in the mix to make it interesting.<p>Last time I looked the best you can do on aws is the M6i (Xeon Ice Lake 8375C from 2020) and M6a (AMD EPYC 7R13 Zen3 from 2021)<p>But save yourself the time ans just use Equinix spot metal for their Rocketlake chips.
