Per hour on Linux/UNIX, 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 HPC8A instance family, generally available since February 16, 2026, is powered by AMD EPYC 9R45 processors offering up to 192 vCPUs and 768 GiB of memory. Available as the hpc8a.96xlarge instance type, it features no local instance storage (EBS only) and provides up to 2.085 Gbps of EBS bandwidth. Built on sixth-generation AWS Nitro Cards, the family delivers up to 300 Gbps of network bandwidth, making it suited for tightly coupled, compute-intensive high-performance computing workloads.

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 Linux/UNIX, 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).
