Ring the bells, sound the trumpet, the Linux 6.19 kernel has arrived.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has teamed up with Intel to announce the eighth generation of memory-optimized EC2 instances: the R8i and R8i-flex. These new instance types run on specially developed Intel Xeon 6 processors with DDR5 7200 MT/s memory. According to AWS, they deliver the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth of any comparable Intel processors in the cloud. For Intel, which has been under considerable pressure in recent weeks, this is a welcome boost: the world's largest cloud provider has explicitly chosen customized Xeons.
