CMIPS benchmarks with new Amazon c3.8xlarge and prices updated

The new Amazon c3.8xlarge based on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz and SSD has been added. Is the most powerful instance tested to the date, beating Cloudsigma 37 Cores/80 Ghz by a little (although CloudSigma is much more cheaper).

The cool thing of c3.8xlarge comparing to cc2.8xlarge is that the first is not a Cluster like the last, so you can use a standard Linux distribution, not the specially cluster distributions.

In a graphic (more CMIPS means more CPU+RAM Speed power, so more is better):

Prices for Amazon have been updated, only m3.xlarge (SSD) changed passing from $0.5 USD/hour to $0.45 USD/hour.

Prices for Azure have been reviewed but did not change since last update on 2013.

    Dear Sir,

    I need to know the numer of MIPS (Million Instructions per Second) for each Amazon VM offer. How can calculate it.
    Could you please help.

    Sincerely,
    RBH
