Today we’re launching Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M7i-Flex and M7i situations powered by customized 4th era Intel Xeon Scalable processors obtainable solely on AWS, that provide the perfect efficiency amongst comparable Intel processors within the cloud – as much as 15% sooner than Intel processors utilized by different cloud suppliers. M7i-Flex situations can be found within the 5 most typical sizes, and are designed to present you as much as 19% higher value/efficiency than M6i situations for a lot of workloads. The M7i situations can be found in 9 sizes (with two dimension of naked metallic situations within the works), and supply 15% higher value/efficiency than the earlier era of Intel-powered situations.
M7i-Flex Instances
The M7i-Flex situations are a lower-cost variant of the M7i situations, with 5% higher value/efficiency and 5% decrease costs. They are nice for functions that don’t absolutely make the most of all compute assets. The M7i-Flex situations ship a baseline of 40% CPU efficiency, and might scale as much as full CPU efficiency 95% of the time. M7i-Flex situations are perfect for working basic function workloads equivalent to internet and utility servers, digital desktops, batch processing, micro-services, databases and enterprise functions. If you might be at present utilizing earlier generations of general-purposes situations, you may undertake M7i-Flex situations with out having to make modifications to your utility or your workload.
Here are the specs for the M7i-Flex situations:
| Instance Name | vCPUs |
Memory |
Network Bandwidth |
EBS Bandwidth |
| m7i-flex.massive | 2 | 8 GiB | as much as 12.5 Gbps | as much as 10 Gbps |
| m7i-flex.xlarge | 4 | 16 GiB | as much as 12.5 Gbps | as much as 10 Gbps |
| m7i-flex.2xlarge | 8 | 32 GiB | as much as 12.5 Gbps | as much as 10 Gbps |
| m7i-flex.4xlarge | 16 | 64 GiB | as much as 12.5 Gbps | as much as 10 Gbps |
| m7i-flex.8xlarge | 32 | 128 GiB | as much as 12.5 Gbps | as much as 10 Gbps |
M7i Instances
For workloads equivalent to massive utility servers and databases, gaming servers, CPU based mostly machine studying, and video streaming that want the biggest occasion sizes or excessive CPU constantly, you may get value/efficiency advantages by utilizing M7i situations.
Here are the specs for the M7i situations:
| Instance Name | vCPUs |

| m7i.2xlarge | 8 | 32 GiB | as much as 12.5 Gbps | as much as 10 Gbps |
| m7i.4xlarge | 16 | 64 GiB | as much as 12.5 Gbps | as much as 10 Gbps |
| m7i.8xlarge | 32 | 128 GiB | 12.5 Gbps | 10 Gbps |
| m7i.12xlarge | 48 | 192 GiB | 18.75 Gbps | 15 Gbps |
| m7i.16xlarge | 64 | 256 GiB | 25.0 Gbps | 20 Gbps |
| m7i.24xlarge | 96 | 384 GiB | 37.5 Gbps | 30 Gbps |
| m7i.48xlarge | 192 | 768 GiB | 50 Gbps | 40 Gbps |
You can connect as much as 128 EBS volumes to every M7i occasion; by the use of comparability, the M6i situations mean you can connect as much as 28 volumes.
We are additionally on the point of launch two sizes of naked metallic M7i situations:
| Instance Name | vCPUs |
Memory |
Network Bandwidth |
EBS Bandwidth |
| m7i.metal-24xl | 96 | 384 GiB | 37.5 Gbps | 30 Gbps |
| m7i.metal-48xl | 192 | 768 GiB | 50.0 Gbps | 40 Gbps |
Built-In Accelerators
The Sapphire Rapids processors embody 4 built-in accelerators, every offering {hardware} acceleration for a particular workload:
- Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) – This set of extensions to the x86 instruction set enhance deep studying and inferencing, and help workloads equivalent to pure language processing, advice methods, and picture recognition. The extensions present high-speed multiplication operations on 2-dimensional matrices of INT8 or BF16 values. To study extra, learn Chapter 3 of the Intel AMX Instruction Set Reference.
- Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA) – This accelerator drives excessive efficiency for storage, networking, and data-intensive workloads by offloading frequent information motion duties between CPU, reminiscence, caches, community gadgets, and storage gadgets, enhancing streaming information motion and transformation operations. Read Introducing the Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (Intel DSA) to study extra.
- Intel In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (IAA) – This accelerator runs database and analytic workloads sooner, with the potential for higher energy effectivity. In-memory compression, decompression, and encryption at very excessive throughput, and a set of analytics primitives help in-memory databases, open supply database, and information shops like RocksDB and ClickHouse. To study extra, learn the Intel In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (Intel IAA) Architecture Specification.
- Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) -This accelerator offloads encryption, decryption, and compression, liberating up processor cores and decreasing energy consumption. It additionally helps merged compression and encryption in a single information circulation. To study extra begin on the Intel QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT) Overview.
Some of those accelerators require using particular kernel variations, drivers, and/or compilers.
The Advanced Matrix Extensions can be found on all sizes of M7i and M7i-Flex situations. The Intel QAT, Intel IAA, and Intel DSA accelerators shall be obtainable on the m7i.metal-24xl and m7i.metal-48xl situations.
Details
Here are a few issues to remember concerning the M7i-Flex and M7i situations:
Regions – The new situations can be found within the US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Ireland) AWS Regions, and we plan to broaden to extra areas all through the remainder of 2023.
Purchasing Options – M7i-Flex amd M7i situations can be found in On-Demand, Reserved Instance, Savings Plan, and Spot kind. M7i situations are additionally obtainable in Dedicated Host and Dedicated Instance kind.
