Accelerate your AWS cloud journey by exploiting the power of the advanced compute features AMD offers through their EPYC-based instances.
Overview
In the context of Amazon Web Services (AWS), AMD EPYC–based instances often deliver excellent value compared to other CPU architectures available in the cloud. AMD’s 2nd and 3rd generation EPYC processors (such as those in the M7a, C7a, and R7a families) provide a high number of cores per socket, large memory bandwidth, and strong single-thread performance. This enables AWS to offer instances with lower cost per vCPU, high performance and a modern feature set.
While other processor technologies remain suitable for specialized scenarios that depend on unique instruction sets or licensing requirements, many AWS customers choose AMD-based EC2 families for their strong price-to-performance ratio across a wide range of workloads.
Highlights
- Lower cost per vCPU – AMD-based instances are typically priced 10–20 % lower than many alternative CPU options, making them cost-efficient for both compute intensive and general workloads.
- High performance – High core density and a large L3 cache deliver strong throughput for databases, analytics, and high-performance computing.
- Modern feature set – EPYC chips support PCIe 4.0/5.0 and advanced security features like Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV), which can be important for regulated workloads.
