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 X1 instance family, generally available since May 2016, features Intel Xeon E7 8880 v3 (Haswell) processors. These memory-optimized instances offer up to 1,952 GiB of DRAM-based memory and are designed for running large-scale, in-memory applications. X1 instances provide up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth and up to 14 Gbps of dedicated EBS bandwidth. They also feature up to 1920 GB of SSD instance storage on some instance sizes.

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

17 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).
