new - e2-micro $0.0083 - 1GB 2 cores @ .125 fraction per core?
Pretty cool if your code can use multiple cores efficiently, specially if each virtual core is guaranteed a separate physical core then this is really good! = if one core gets a congestion peak maybe the other won't.
For less than a buck/month you get better parallelism and .4GB RAM!
Sadly still no pre-purchased committed usage discount for the shared CPU instances!

For those with big budgets:
old - n1-standard-1 $0.0475 - 3.75GB 1 core
new - e2-standard-2 $0.06701 - 8GB 2 cores (0.00001 really?)
I also wish we had some computation power comparison metric so that we could stop looking at apples and bananas without committing.
Replying to myself again: So you will NOT get two physical cores, both HyperThreads will be on the same physical core so no real benefits to having these smaller shared instances give you "2 cores"?
See my comments for feedback from AWS engineer. I'm guessing since both AWS and GCE run the same hypervisor now that GCE will have the same "feature"?

For monthly you multiply by 730 I think.
