AWS z1d.large CPU speed

1

I just set up a z1d.large instance Windows server. I need this instance to run an application that uses a single thread (and hence a single CPU core)

The application took 21 minutes to run on my i7 laptop and when I tested on the AWS z1d.large instance it took 30 minutes. The application used 50% of the Xeon CPU (2 core) that is 100% of a single core.

My question is, is the AWS z1d.large the fastest AWS product in terms of a single core processing power or should I be using something else? Does anything exist that is faster?

When I setup the z1d.large instance the display on the desktop shows Architecture of AMD64 (which is what I expected) and an Instance size of z1d.large however the task manager shows CPU as Intel Xeon Platinum 8151 3.40GHz.

Is something set up wrong, hence the z1d instance being slow or is this as fast as AWS gets?
