Cloud Mercato tested CPU performance using a range of encryption speed tests:
Cloud Mercato's tested the I/O performance of this instance using a 100GB General Purpose SSD. Below are the results:
I/O rate testing is conducted with local and block storages attached to the instance. Cloud Mercato uses the well-known open-source tool FIO. To express IOPS the following parametersare used: 4K block, random access, no filesystem (except for write access with root volume and avoidance of cache and buffer.

Cloud cost management from Anodot automatically recommends when an older-generation instance (like one in the EC2 C5 family) should be upgraded to a C6i instance for your compute-intensive workload.

Anodot cloud cost management will automatically recommend when an EC2 C6id instance is an optimal match for your compute-intensive workload.

I am currently using an EC2 c6i.16xlarge instance for running trading strategy optimizations on NinjaTrader. This instance provides 64 vCPUs, 128 GB of RAM and 3.5 GHz base clock. However, during optimizations, the CPU usage hovers around 20%-30%, and the performance is significantly slower compared to my home computer, which has 12 cores but completes optimizations faster.

I am just now trying to change the instance type and it's only letting me use the c6i platform - I was HOPING I could go to the c7g platform actually as the performance vs cost is stellar.

Ah, I'm having the same problem! Which C series did you pick?
