Amazon EC2 M7i instances are now available in AWS Secret Region
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M7i instances are now available in AWS Secret Region. M7i instances are powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids). These custom processors, available only on AWS, offer up to 15 percent better performance over comparable x86-based Intel processors used by other cloud providers.
M7i instances deliver up to 15 percent better price performance compared to M6i. M7i instances are a great choice for workloads that need the largest instance sizes or continuous high CPU usage, such as gaming servers, CPU-based machine learning (ML), and video streaming. M7i instances offer larger instance sizes, up to 48xlarge, and two bare metal sizes (metal-24xl, metal-48xl). These bare-metal sizes support built-in Intel accelerators—Data Streaming Accelerator, In-Memory Analytics Accelerator, and QuickAssist Technology—that are used to facilitate efficient offload and acceleration of data operations and optimize performance for workloads.
M7i instances support the new Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) that accelerate matrix multiplication operations for applications such as CPU-based ML. In addition, customers can now attach up to 128 Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes to an M7i instance (compared to 28 EBS volume attachments on M6i). This allows processing of larger amounts of data, scaled workloads, and improved performance over M6i instances.
