Does Aws Use Amd or Intel

AWS now uses AMD Epyc Gen 1 and Gen 2. As of this moment in 2020 all instance families with the “a” designation are AMD based. So C5a, C5ad, M5a, R5a, T3a, etc. You will see better performance with C5a and all the instances are anywhere from 10%-45% less expensive than the Intel based versions.

Does AWS use AMD?

AWS first introduced Amazon EC2 instances based on AMD EPYC processors in November of 2018 for both general purpose (M5a) and memory optimized (R5a) workloads.

Is AWS a processor?

AWS acts as both a data processor and a data controller under the GDPR. AWS as a data processor – When customers use AWS services to process personal data in the content they upload to the AWS services, AWS acts as a data processor.
