Today, we’re announcing the availability of new memory-optimized, high-frequency Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) X8aedz instances powered by a 5th Gen AMD EPYC processor. These instances offer the highest CPU frequency, 5GHz in the cloud. They deliver up to two times higher compute performance compared to previous generation X2iezn instances.
X8aedz instances are ideal for electronic design automation (EDA) workloads, such as physical layout and physical verification jobs, and relational databases that benefit from high single-threaded processor performance and a large memory footprint. The combination of 5 GHz processors and local NVMe storage enables faster processing of memory-intensive backend EDA workloads such as floor planning, logic placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and power/signal…
