Driven by customer demand and made possible by on-going advances in the state-of-the-art, we’ve come a long way since the original m1.small instance that we launched in 2006, with instances that emphasize compute power, burstable performance, memory size, local storage, and accelerated computing.
The New P3
Today we are making the next generation of GPU-powered EC2 instances available in four AWS regions. Powered by up to eight NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs, the P3 instances are designed to handle compute-intensive machine learning, deep learning, computational fluid dynamics, computational finance, seismic analysis, molecular modeling, and genomics workloads.
P3 instances use customized Intel Xeon E5-2686v4 processors running at up to 2.7 GHz. They are available in three sizes (all VPC-only and EBS-only):
| Model | NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs | GPU Memory | NVIDIA NVLink | vCPUs | Main Memory | Network Bandwidth | EBS Bandwidth |
| p3.2xlarge | 1 | 16 GiB | n/a | 8 | 61 GiB | Up to 10 Gbps | 1.5 Gbps |
| p3.8xlarge | 4 | 64 GiB | 200 GBps | 32 | 244 GiB | 10 Gbps | 7 Gbps |
| p3.16xlarge | 8 | 128 GiB | 300 GBps | 64 | 488 GiB | 25 Gbps | 14 Gbps |
