AWS – Introducing Amazon EC2 X2iezn instances
Starting today, memory optimized Amazon EC2 X2iezn instances are available. Amazon EC2 X2iezn instances are powered by 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all core turbo frequency of up to 4.5 GHz, the fastest in the cloud. X2iezn instances deliver the highest all-core turbo CPU performance from Intel Xeon Scalable processors in the cloud, and deliver up to 55% better compute price performance than X1e instances. They are a great fit for electronic design automation (EDA) workloads as well as relational databases that benefit from high single-threaded processor performance and a large memory footprint. The combination of high single-threaded compute performance and a 32:1 ratio of memory to vCPU make X2iezn instances an ideal fit for EDA workloads including physical verification, static timing analysis, power sign-off, and full chip gate level simulation, and database workloads that are license bounded.
