Are Snapdragon Processors Supported in Oracle Cloud Compute Options?
Preparing for the Oracle Cloud Essentials exam? Find out why Snapdragon processors are not available in OCI Compute, and learn about the supported enterprise architectures—including AMD, Intel, and Arm (Ampere)—that power OCI workloads.
Question
Which type of processor is NOT available for OCI compute service?
A. AMD.
B. Intel.
C. Snapdragon.
D. Arm.
Answer
C. Snapdragon.
Explanation
Snapdragon processors, which are developed by Qualcomm primarily for mobile devices, are not available as an option in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Compute service. OCI Compute shapes are powered by enterprise-grade processors designed for data centers and high-performance cloud workloads. Specifically, OCI offers compute instances built on AMD (EPYC), Intel (Xeon), and Arm-based (Ampere Altra) architectures. These supported processors provide the flexible, high-capacity computing power necessary for virtual machines and bare metal instances in the cloud.
