EC2 f1 instance prices

The f1 series is a fpga instances EC2 line running on Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4 (Broadwell). It has 3 sizes, from the f1.2xlarge with 8 vCPUs and 122 GiB to the f1.16xlarge with 64 vCPUs and 976 GiB, and it is very memory-heavy with a median of 15.2 GiB per vCPU.

In US East the Linux on-demand price runs from $1.65/hour to $13.20/hour, or $1,205 to $9,636 a month. The median price per vCPU-hour across the series is $0.2062.

Every size costs the same $0.2062 per vCPU-hour, so price scales linearly: doubling the size doubles the bill, and two smaller instances cost exactly as much as one larger one. That makes it easy to start small and resize later without changing your unit cost. Availability varies by size: 2 of 3 sizes reach 6 of the 12 regions we track, while f1.16xlarge is sold in fewer.
