The M8I general-purpose instance family, released on August 28, 2025, features custom Intel Xeon 6 processors (e.g., 6975P-C) with a sustained all-core 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. These instances offer up to 1.5 TB of memory and utilize DDR5 7200MT/s DIMMs for 2.5x higher memory throughput. M8I instances provide up to 100 Gbps of networking and up to 80 Gbps of Amazon EBS bandwidth, with EFA support on the largest sizes. They use EBS-only storage and are ideal for large application servers, databases, and continuous high CPU usage workloads.
