EC2 Instance family: m7i-flex
The Amazon EC2 m7i-flex instance type is powered by custom 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, code-named Sapphire Rapids, featuring an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz and a maximum core turbo frequency of 3.8 GHz. These processors are exclusively available on AWS and offer up to 15% better performance compared to comparable Intel processors found in other cloud environments. The m7i-flex instances generally became available on August 2, 2023. They are designed to provide a balanced mix of compute, memory, and networking resources, making them suitable for a wide array of general-purpose workloads such as web and application servers, virtual desktops, batch processing, microservices, databases, and enterprise applications.
Key features of the m7i-flex instances include up to 19% better price performance compared to previous generation M6i instances. They boast a 4:1 ratio of memory to vCPU and utilize DDR5 memory, which offers higher bandwidth than M6i instances. M7i-flex instances support up to 10 Gbps bandwidth to Amazon EBS and up to 12.5 Gbps of networking bandwidth. These instances deliver a baseline CPU performance of 40% with the ability to scale up to full CPU performance 95% of the time, providing a "flex" capability similar to burstable T-series instances. Additionally, they incorporate Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) to accelerate matrix multiplication operations, which benefits CPU-based machine learning applications, and support always-on memory encryption using Intel Total Memory Encryption (TME).
