See the benchmarks for all EC2 instances.
This instance type is available for self-hosted GitHub Actions runners using RunsOn.
EC2 Instance family: c7i-flex
CPU type: Custom 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Sapphire Rapids), exclusive to AWS.
Specific features: These are compute-optimized Flex instances designed for workloads that do not require continuous full CPU utilization. They offer a baseline level of CPU performance but can scale up to full compute performance 95% of the time. They utilize DDR5 memory and provide up to 19% better price performance compared to C6i instances.
Date of release: May 14, 2024 (General Availability announcement).
