Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance. I'd expect between 0.1%

Hardware gets better, sure. Software teams can reduce the environmental impact of device manufacturing, even if they don’t make devices themselves. Durable software not only saves the expense of frequent product overhauls; it also reduces the temptation of unnecessary device upgrades. It makes sense.

A close monitoring of the hardware enthusiast community, including many of the most respected hardware analysts and reviewers paints an even more dire picture about Intel in the server processor space. This made it easier for database professionals to make the case for a hardware upgrade, and made the typical upgrade more worthwhile.

In 2012, we launched Amazon DynamoDB, the successor to Amazon Dynamo. We built DynamoDB as a fully-managed service because we wanted to enable our customers, both internal and external, to focus on their application rather than being distracted by undifferentiated heavy lifting like dealing with hardware and software maintenance.

Now welcome to the hardware jungle. 2012 will see us continue to build out multicore with mainstream quad- and eight-core tablets (as Windows 8 brings a modern tablet experience to x86 as well as ARM), and the last single-core gaming console holdout will go multicore (as Nintendo’s Wii U replaces Wii).
