Amazon EC2 G7 instances are now generally available. Powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, G7 instances deliver up to 4.6x AI inference performance and up to 2.1x graphics performance compared to G6. You can use G7 instances for AI inference workloads such as language translation, video and image analysis, speech recognition, and recommender systems. Additionally, G7 instances accelerate graphics workloads such as creating and rendering real-time, cinematic-quality graphics, game streaming, and data analytics workloads such as large-scale data processing pipelines. G7 instances feature up to 8 NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs with 32 GB of memory per GPU, custom Intel Xeon 6 processors, and up to 700 Gbps of Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking bandwidth. You can start using Amazon EC2 G7 instances today in two AWS Regions: US East (Ohio) and US West (Oregon). You can purchase G7 instances as On-Demand Instances, as part of Savings Plans, or Spot Instances.
