Benchmarks for c6i.large (AWS)

Individual CPU benchmark results for the AWS EC2 instance type c6i.large. The table displays the single-threaded CPU speed as reported by the Passmark benchmark tool, as well as the on-demand, spot pricing, and spot interruption percentage.

See the benchmarks for all EC2 instances.

✅ This instance type is available for self-hosted GitHub Actions runners using RunsOn.

EC2 Instance family: c6i

The Amazon EC2 c6i instance type is powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, specifically the Intel Xeon 8375C (Ice Lake) with an all-core turbo frequency of up to 3.5 GHz. These instances are designed for compute-intensive workloads and offer up to 15% better compute price performance compared to the previous generation C5 instances. They also feature a 2:1 ratio of memory to vCPU and support up to 128 vCPUs per instance, a 33% increase over C5 instances. The C6i instances were introduced by AWS in October 2021.

Key features of the c6i instances include twice the networking bandwidth of C5 instances, with up to 50 Gbps of networking speed and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS). They are built on the AWS Nitro System, which combines dedicated hardware and a lightweight hypervisor, and include always-on memory encryption using Intel Total Memory Encryption (TME). Additionally, C6i instances support Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX-512) for accelerated cryptographic operations, and the 32xlarge and metal instance sizes support Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA).
