Amazon EC2 P5en instances are now available in US East (N. Virginia) and Asia Pacific (Jakarta)

Posted on: Mar 27, 2025

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) P5en instances powered by NVIDIA H200 GPUs are available in US East (N. Virginia) and Asia Pacific (Jakarta) regions. These instances are optimized for generative AI and high performance computing (HPC) applications.

P5en instances feature 8 H200 GPUs which have 1.7x GPU memory size and 1.4x GPU memory bandwidth than H100 GPUs featured in P5 instances. P5en instances pair the H200 GPUs with high performance custom 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, enabling Gen5 PCIe between CPU and GPU which provides up to 4x the bandwidth between CPU and GPU and boosts AI training and inference performance. P5en, with up to 3200 Gbps of third generation of EFA using Nitro v5, shows up to 35% improvement in latency compared to P5 that uses the previous generation of EFA and Nitro. This helps improve collective communications performance for distributed training workloads such as deep learning, generative AI, real-time data processing, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. To address customer needs for large scale at low latency, P5en instances are deployed in Amazon EC2 UltraClusters, and provide market-leading scale-out capabilities for distributed training and tightly coupled HPC workloads.

With these additional regions, P5en instances are now available in the US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Spain) and Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Mumbai, Seoul, Tokyo and Seoul) AWS Regions and US East (Atlanta) Local Zone us-east-1-atl-2a in the p5en.48xlarge size.
