I'm kind of annoyed that vCPU is now a measurement of ... something.

Whereas memory, bandwidth, and storage are "roughly" comparable (there are performance differences between SSDs and RAM for sure, they're not as blatant) the difference between "a single core" on a CPU can be completely insane.

We need some form of "generic CPU power" that can more accurately compare these things.



At some point AWS did have an "ECU" that did this.
