EC2 x1 instance prices

The x1 series is a memory optimized EC2 line running on High Frequency Intel Xeon E7-8880 v3 (Haswell). It has 2 sizes, from the x1.16xlarge with 64 vCPUs and 976 GiB to the x1.32xlarge with 128 vCPUs and 1952 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 $6.67/hour to $13.34/hour, or $4,868 to $9,737 a month. The median price per vCPU-hour across the series is $0.1042.

Every size costs the same $0.1042 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. All sizes are sold in the same 12 of the 12 regions we track.
