AMD 5th Gen EPYC Processors Power AWS Instances
AMD EPYC 5th Gen processors now power the new Amazon EC2 M8a cloud instances, delivering up to 30% higher performance than the previous generation for general-purpose, high-performance computing workloads on AWS.

AWS has collaborated with AMD as the first major cloud provider to launch instances powered by AMD EPYC™ CPUs. Since 2018, AWS has launched all generations of EPYC CPUs spanning general purpose, memory-optimized, compute-optimized, burstable, and HPC instance families.
The company is excited to announce the availability of the latest Amazon EC2 general-purpose instance, M8a, powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors. AMD EPYC CPU-powered M8a is a strong fit for general-purpose applications that need balanced compute, memory, and networking. It is ideal for web and application hosting, microservices architectures, and databases where predictable performance and efficient scaling are important.
“The new EC2 M8a instances represent yet another milestone in our long-standing collaboration with AMD,” said Nishant Mehta, Vice President of EC2 Product Management at AWS. “These instances offer significant performance improvements over the previous generation instances and will provide customers with the scale and flexibility to run an even broader range of compute workloads.”
With up to 30% higher performance over the previous generation, customers gain the advantage of faster memory bandwidth, greater networking and storage throughput, and flexible configuration options to power an even wider range of general-purpose workloads.
5th Gen EPYC delivered best in class performance and became a core part of Netflix Infrastructure enabling rapid scalability for Live events. AMD EPYC-powered EC2 M8a furthers that performance, delivering new features like AVX-512 to scale our encoding, personalization, and machine learning workloads across the globe.
