Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the launch of its new M8i and M8i-Flex instances, powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors. These instances offer significant enhancements over the previous generation M7i and M7i-Flex models. The M8i and M8i-Flex instances are designed to deliver up to 15% better price performance, 20% higher performance, and 2.5 times more memory bandwidth compared to their predecessors [1].

The new instances are equipped with a sustained all-core 3.9 GHz turbo frequency, enabling them to handle a wide range of general-purpose workloads such as web application servers, databases, and enterprise applications. They offer up to 384 virtual CPUs (vCPUs) and 1.5 TB of memory, including bare metal instances with dedicated access to physical hardware [1].

The M8i and M8i-Flex instances are part of Amazon EC2's commitment to providing high-performance, scalable, and cost-effective computing solutions.
