R6i instances leverage 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake) and are well-suited for memory-intensive workloads.
Features
- Up to 3.5 GHz 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake 8375C)
- Up to 15% better compute price performance over R5 instances
- Up to 20% higher memory bandwidth per vCPU compared to R5 instances
- Up to 50 Gbps of networking speed
- Up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store
- A new instance size (32xlarge) with 128 vCPUs and 1,024 GiB of memory
- Supports Elastic Fabric Adapter on the 32xlarge and metal sizes
- Built on the AWS Nitro System, a combination of dedicated hardware and lightweight hypervisor
- Support for always-on memory encryption using Intel Total Memory Encryption (TME)
- Support for new Intel Advanced Vector Extension (AVX 512) instructions for faster execution of cryptographic algorithms
- With R6id instances, up to 7.6 TB of local NVMe-based SSDs are physically connected to the host server and provide block-level storage that is coupled to the lifetime of the R6i instance
