In a release given to PR Newswire, Liftr Insights has identified the existence of an 896-core Amazon Web Services cloud provider instance, which substantially dwarfs the highest core counts available with Tencent and Microsoft Azure service plans. Using this much of AWS' computing power will cost a pretty penny, of course— an estimated range of $150 per hour to around $400 per hour depending on configuration and city— but considering the scale at which modern tech enterprises operate, this actually still seems viable.
As noted by CEO of Liftr Insights Tab Schadt in the original release, "It is not advantageous for AWS to deploy solutions that won't sell, especially at these price points. They spend significant time and money on market intelligence. Other companies can benefit from research about what they are offering and where they offer them at a fraction of the cost."
