Per hour on Windows, in each type's cheapest region. Typical spot: per pricing run of the last 7 days, the cheapest zone's spot price, averaged, as the finder shows it with that region selected. On-demand: the same region's price. Per vCPU-hour: the spot price, or without spot the on-demand price, per vCPU. Every region is under Prices by region.
Description #
The C5N instance family, launched in November 2018, utilizes 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon Platinum 8124M (Skylake-SP) processors. Built on the AWS Nitro System, these compute-optimized instances are EBS-backed and feature up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth, significantly higher than C5 instances. They provide a 33% higher memory footprint and support Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) on the largest size, making them ideal for HPC and network-bound applications.

Ranked by PassMark single-thread score
Not benchmarked yet 44
These families have no PassMark single-thread score yet, so they are not ranked.
Available Regions #
22 regions with a price in the last 7 days. Select up to 4 to compare them in the price history charts under Prices by region.
Prices by region #
Each type's regions on Windows, cheapest first, with the same figures as the Prices table, and its price history: the daily mean of every zone and pricing run, over the last 15 UTC days. Each price column is tinted from its cheapest region (green) to its most expensive (red).
