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 memory-optimized X8I instance family, announced in preview on December 2, 2025, is powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors with a 3.9 GHz all-core turbo frequency. They offer up to 6TB of high-speed DDR5 memory, delivering up to 3.4x more memory bandwidth than X2i instances. The family supports Instance Bandwidth Configuration (IBC) for flexible network/EBS allocation and is SAP-certified. This makes them ideal for in-memory databases, analytics, and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads.

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

16 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).
