Matched on vCPU and memory, then CPU vendor, then rate; a larger size is offered only when nothing is the same size. On-demand Linux only: Spot and commitments work differently on the two clouds, so they aren't compared here.
What to know about M7I General Purpose
Intel Sapphire Rapids general-purpose instances with 4 GiB of memory per vCPU, from 2 to 192 vCPUs.
The m7i is AWS’s Intel-based general-purpose family. Each vCPU comes with 4 GiB of memory, and the nine sizes run from 2 to 192 vCPUs. Network bandwidth goes up to 12.5 Gbps on the large, and EBS throughput peaks at 1,250 MB/s.
Pick it when your software needs x86 and you want a current-generation default.
Price is the main reason to look elsewhere. An m7i.large costs about 24% more than the same-sized Graviton m7g in us-east-1 on Linux on-demand. If your stack runs on arm64, that gap is savings you can take. The m7i also costs about 5% more than the previous-generation m6i, so moving from m6i buys newer silicon, not a lower bill. The AMD m7a costs about 15% more than the m7i.
Windows adds about 91% to the large size’s hourly price, so on a small instance most of the bill is the license.
Pricing scales linearly with size: an xlarge costs twice a large. Choose the size for the memory and CPU you need, not for a discount.
Good for
- x86-only software that can't move to Arm
- Web and application servers needing steady CPU
- Workloads that outgrow small sizes, up to 192 vCPUs
Watch for
- m7g is about 19% cheaper at the same size if you can run arm64
- Windows adds about 91% to the large size's hourly price
- m7a (AMD) costs about 15% more at the same size
