About We listened and lowered our bare metal and virtual server prices. Same power and flexibility. A graphics processing unit (GPU) is “extra brain power” the CPU lacks. Choosing IBM Cloud® for your GPU requirements gives you direct access to one of the most flexible server-selection processes in the industry, seamless integration with your IBM Cloud architecture, APIs and applications, and a globally distributed network of data centers. IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers with GPUs perform better on 5 TensorFlow ML models than AWS servers. We offer bare metal GPUs and virtual server GPUs. Google Cloud only offers virtual server instances. Like Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud only offers GPU options on virtual machines.
