new - e2-micro $0.0083 - 1GB 2 cores @ .125 fraction per core?

Pretty cool if your code can use multiple cores efficiently, specially if each virtual core is guaranteed a separate physical core then this is really good! = if one core gets a congestion peak maybe the other won't.

For less than a buck/month you get better parallelism and .4GB RAM!

Sadly still no pre-purchased committed usage discount for the shared CPU instances!

For those with big budgets:

old - n1-standard-1 $0.0475 - 3.75GB 1 core

new - e2-standard-2 $0.06701 - 8GB 2 cores (0.00001 really?)

I also wish we had some computation power comparison metric so that we could stop looking at apples and bananas without committing.

For monthly you multiply by 730 I think.
