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 X1E instance family, launched in September 2017, features quad socket 2.3 GHz Intel Xeon E7 8880 v3 (Haswell) processors. These memory-optimized instances offer up to 25 Gbps of networking bandwidth and up to 14 Gbps of dedicated EBS bandwidth. Instance storage includes SSD options, and they are designed for memory-intensive workloads such as SAP HANA. They provide configurations with up to 128 vCPUs and 3,904 GiB of memory.

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

14 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).
