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. No spot: AWS lists no spot price for this family. Every region is under Prices by region.

The HPC6A instance family, generally available since January 10, 2022, is powered by third-generation AMD EPYC 7R13 processors. Designed for tightly coupled high-performance computing workloads, the hpc6a.48xlarge instance provides up to 96 vCPUs and up to 384 GiB of memory. It offers up to 100 Gbps of network bandwidth enabled by Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) for low-latency node-to-node communication. The family features up to 2.085 Gbps of EBS bandwidth and uses EBS storage only, offering no local instance storage.

These families have no PassMark single-thread score yet, so they are not ranked.

4 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.

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).
