Now shipping: Compute Engine machine types with up to 96 vCPUs and 624GB of memory

Got compute- and memory-hungry applications? We’ve got you covered, with new machine types that have up to 96 vCPUs and 624 GB of memory—a 50% increase in compute resources per Google Compute Engine VM. These machine types run on Intel Xeon Scalable processors (codenamed Skylake), and offer the most vCPUs of any cloud provider on that chipset. Skylake in turn provides up to 20% faster compute performance, 82% faster HPC performance, and almost 2X the memory bandwidth compared with the previous generation Xeon.1
96 vCPU VMs are available in three predefined machine types:

• Standard: 96 vCPUs and 360 GB of memory
• High-CPU: 96 vCPUs and 86.4 GB of memory
• High-Memory: 96 vCPUs and 624 GB of memory
