Phoronix: AMD EPYC 7003 Series Performance In The Cloud With Microsoft Azure HBv3 HPC VMs

One of the exciting elements of last month's AMD EPYC 7003 "Milan" series launch was having same-day availability in public clouds. Microsoft as one of AMD's cloud partners worked closely to deliver launch-day availability in their public cloud using EPYC 7003 series processors with the new "HBv3" instances focused on high performance computing (HPC) virtual machines. Here are some benchmarks of the Azure HPv3 instances compared to prior generation Microsoft Azure HPC instances available on-demand in their cloud.

It would be nice to have an average performance per dollar chart, based on the current instance prices.

Nitpick ;-) : "Priceless", i.e. the absence of a price tag, does not necessarily mean it comes cheap—some objects-of-desire are the antithesis of a commodity, which alone makes them expensive (no economies of scale to leverage).

yep - its a tricky one. Best avoided if unsure. It may not mean what you think it does.
