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. Every region is under Prices by region.

The R9g instance family, introduced in 2026, is powered by custom AWS Graviton5 processors built on 3nm Arm architecture with up to 192 vCPUs. These memory-optimized instances offer a 1:8 vCPU-to-memory ratio utilizing high-speed DDR5 memory, making them ideal for in-memory databases, distributed caching, and real-time big data analytics. They are EBS-only with no local instance storage and feature enhanced networking bandwidth alongside high dedicated Amazon EBS throughput powered by the AWS Nitro System.

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).
