Amazon EC2 X2i Instances
Up to 50% better performance than X1 instances for memory-intensive workloadsWhy Amazon EC2 X2i Instances?
Amazon EC2 X2i instances are the next generation of memory-optimized instances delivering improvements in performance, price performance, and cost per GiB of memory compared to previous generation X1 instances. These instances offer a choice of 16:1 or 32:1 ratio of memory to vCPU and are ideal for memory-intensive databases and electronic design automation (EDA) workloads.
X2idn and X2iedn instances are powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency up to 3.5 GHz and deliver up to 50% higher compute price performance than comparable X1 instances. X2idn and X2iedn instances both include up to 3.8 TB of local NVMe SSD storage and up to 100 Gbps of networking bandwidth, while X2idn offers up to 2 TiB of memory and X2iedn offers up to 4 TiB of memory. X2idn and X2iedn instances are SAP-Certified and are a great fit for workloads such as small-to large-scale traditional and in-memory databases, and analytics.
X2iezn instances are powered by 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all core turbo frequency of up to 4.5 GHz, the fastest in the cloud. They feature up to 1.5 TiB of memory, and deliver up to 55% better price performance than X1e instances. X2iezn instances are a great fit for EDA workloads as well as relational databases that benefit from high single-threaded processor performance and a large memory footprint.
