EC2 Instance family: i7ie
The Amazon EC2 i7ie instance type is powered by 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, codenamed "Emerald Rapids". These processors feature an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz and a maximum core turbo frequency of 4.0 GHz. A key security feature is the support for always-on memory encryption using Intel Total Memory Encryption (TME). I7ie instances also incorporate DDR5 memory for enhanced bandwidth and offer significant networking capabilities, supporting up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth and 60 Gbps bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS). For storage, these instances utilize 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs, providing up to 120TB of local NVMe storage, which is the highest storage density available in the cloud.
The i7ie instances are optimized for storage-intensive workloads demanding high-speed data access and low latency, making them suitable for various databases and analytics applications. They boast several built-in accelerators within the 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, including Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) for machine learning, Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA), In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (IAA), and QuickAssist Technology (QAT). These accelerators, especially DSA, IAA, and QAT on bare metal instances, offload and optimize tasks such as database operations, encryption, compression, and queue management. The general availability of storage-optimized Amazon EC2 i7ie instances, with various sizes, was announced on December 1, 2024, with new bare metal instance sizes released on April 10, 2025.
