Google Cloud N4D Delivers Great VM Performance & Value Powered By AMD EPYC Turin

The DDR5 memory, CPU architectural upgrades, and other improvements from Milan to Turin mean very nice performance uplift across all of the various workloads tested.

The Google Cloud N4D instance type powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC "Turin" was delivering incredible performance and value advantages over their prior-generation N2D instances that were running on the aging AMD EPYC Milan processors.

Those interested in even more Google Cloud N2D vs. N4D benchmarks can find all of my raw data here. Long story short, very nice performance and value out of the now-available N4D instance family powered by AMD EPYC Turin. Thanks to Google for providing the free access to be able to run some launch-day benchmarks on Phoronix.
