It's KVM on Sandy Bridge; effectively the same as EC2 cluster compute. http://blog.zencoder.com/2012/07/23/first-look-at-google-com...
Where in that article does it say anything about KVM or sandy bridge?
Under Raw Transcoding Speed: "Intel Xeon (Sandy Bridge – probably E5-2670) – 8 cores @ 2.60GHz" Also KVM: https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/faq and 2.6Ghz Sandy Bridge: https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/available_resourc...
