Benchmarks for m5zn.large (AWS)

Individual CPU benchmark results for the AWS EC2 instance type m5zn.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: m5zn

The Amazon EC2 m5zn instance type is powered by 2nd generation custom Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Cascade Lake 8252C) that offer a sustained all-core turbo frequency of up to 4.5 GHz. These instances are a variant of the general-purpose M5 instances and are built on the AWS Nitro System. They are designed for workloads requiring very high single-thread performance and throughput, such as gaming, financial applications, simulation modeling, and High Performance Computing (HPC).

Key features of the m5zn instances include low latency 100 Gbps networking and support for the Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA), which enhances performance for HPC and communication-intensive applications. They also provide up to 19 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS). The m5zn instances were released in December 2020 and are available in various sizes, including a bare metal option (m5zn.metal).
