New Amazon EC2 Instance Types In the Works – C7gn, R7iz, and Hpc7g

{"value":"We are getting ready to launch three new [Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/) instance types and I am happy to be able to give you a sneak peek at them today.\n\n**C7gn Instances** are designed for your most demanding network-intensive workloads: network virtual appliances (firewalls, virtual routers, load balancers, and so forth), data analytics, and tightly-coupled cluster computing jobs. They are powered by Amazon Web Services Graviton3E processors and will support up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth, along with 50% higher packet processing performance. The **c7gn** instances will be available in multiple sizes with up to 64 vCPUs and 128 GiB of memory. We are launching the preview today and you can [Sign Up Today](https://pages.awscloud.com/C7gn-Preview.html) to join in.\n\n**Hpc7g Instances** are also powered by Amazon Web Services Graviton3E processors, with up to 35% higher vector instruction processing performance than the [Graviton3](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/graviton/). They are designed to give you the best price/performance for tightly coupled compute-intensive HPC and distributed computing workloads, and deliver 200 Gbps of dedicated network bandwidth that is optimized for traffic between instances in the same VPC. The **hpc7g** instances will be available in multiple sizes with up to 64 vCPUs and 128 GiB of memory. I’ll have more information to share on these instances in early 2023.\n\n**R7iz Instances** are powered by the latest 4th generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (code named Sapphire Rapids) and run at a sustained all-core turbo frequency of 3.9 GHz. With high performance and DDR5 memory, these instances are a perfect match for your Electronic Design Automation (EDA), financial, actuarial, and simulation workloads. They are also great hosts for relational databases and other commercial software that is licensed on a per-core basis. The **r7iz** instances will be available in multiple sizes with up to 128 vCPUs and 1 TiB of memory. We are launching the instances in preview today and you can [Sign up Today](https://pages.awscloud.com/R7iz-Preview.html) to participate.\n\n— [Jeff](https://twitter.com/jeffbarr);\n\n\n\n### **[Jeff Barr](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/author/jbarr/)**\nJeff Barr is Chief Evangelist for Amazon Web Services.
