Amazon WorkSpaces Personal and Amazon WorkSpaces Core now support the Graphics G7 bundle with NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPU and Intel Xeon 6 processors.

The Graphics G7 bundle can run demanding professional applications such as CAD/CAM, 3D rendering, scientific visualization, video editing and AI-assisted design workflows with higher fidelity and frame rates. Each GPU has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, enabling larger and more complex 3D scenes and models. The bundle runs Windows, supports bring-your-own-license, and works in both AlwaysOn and AutoStop modes. It is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio) and US West (Oregon) regions, with additional regions coming as availability expands.
