These AWS M5 and R5 instances are very important wins for AMD. Cloud users can achieve 10% savings by switching from Intel to AMD instantaneously. Actually T3 instances are also announced at the AWS Summit. Check out these slides below from the summit.
This is a quote by a summit attendee: “basically they expect 40% of customers to start moving by Summer, and said about 70-85% of customers have the ability to move right now. they also expect about 70-80% of new non-purpose built instances to be using $AMD instances due to cost savings”.
Certainly this is not an official statement, but IF this is true, then back up the truck!
