For Amazon Clusters, Amazon provides vCPU spec (for example, EC2: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/details/ and http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/previous-generation/). Only such instances that vCPU spec number is 1 belong PC class. The principle is simple; such computers with one physical CPU installed or equivalents can belong PC class. The exceptions are Intel Xeon E7 series processors, AMD Opteron, and IBM Power, as they have so many physical cores in a socket and cannot be said "personal". In other words, processors up-to regular Intel Core i7 processor can belong PC class as Petr suggested. Then, how about Core i7 5960X Extreme Edition? 5960X has eight cores and actually a Xeon processor. Is this regular i7?>Petr I think, as there are many PC with 5960X are sold widely as a high-end desktop for gamers/enthusiasts, 5960X can belong PC class. Comments are welcome. #This definition could prefer Intel...
