Do you have a source for that?

Hey, big fan of the vantage instance finder. Would it be possible to add instance type labels similar to what AWS calls them on their website - "storage-optimized", "general-purpose" etc.?

I find this often useful to quickly compare similar instance types, e.g.: m7g vs. m8g vs. m9g.

infbergon Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here

Not sure whether you are aware but this issue seems to affect different vendors like Lenovo as well who can't find a solution neither.

The same issue is being reported all over lenovo linux forums as well and for example on https://github.com/erpalma/throttled/issues/255 you see lots of lenovo people reporting the same.

I personally suffer the same issue on my X1G9, the best fix so far is the unload/load all related kernel modules one which makes throttling at least only drop to 1.2 Ghz.

infbergon It’s Not Always iCache

I agree with you that one can very often get distraced by single events, however knowing that you are frontend/backend bound isn't all that more helpful either.

For frontend you can guess that PGO, BOLT, huge tables might probably help but it's still a blind guess without knowing what to look at next.

Intel's TMA is the only helpful thing here really. Bit sad that AMD and ARM don't provide a way to calculate something TMA-like themselves.
