FPGA Instances EC2 instances
AWS groups 6 current EC2 instance types into the fpga instances family, across 2 series. The median Linux on-demand price in US East is $0.1444 per vCPU-hour, and 0.0% of these types run on Arm-based Graviton processors.
By median price per vCPU, the cheapest series is f2 (AMD EPYC 7R13 Processor, $0.0825 per vCPU-hour) and the dearest is f1 (Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 (Broadwell), $0.2062). Unit price is not everything: newer processors do more work per vCPU, and some series add local NVMe storage or faster networking. The table lists every current series with its size count, unit price and memory per vCPU, so you can shortlist by shape first and price second.
Among x86 types, AMD EPYC instances sit at a median of $0.0825 per vCPU-hour and Intel Xeon at $0.2062. Prices span from the f1.2xlarge (8 vCPUs, 122 GiB) at $1.65/hour, about $1,205 a month, to the f2.48xlarge (192 vCPUs, 2048 GiB) at $15.84/hour, about $11,563 a month.
