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.

Amazon EC2 - m7a.medium serves got a Geekbench6 single core score over 1300

M7a is pricey! (...) That is almost 35% higher cost than M6a! That is the biggest price increase on the next instance type I remember (...) AMD instances used to be 10% cheaper than equivalent generation Intel. M6a is about 11% cheaper than M6i but M7a is 15% more expensive than M7i.

The new general-purpose instances are priced higher than the previous generation AMD M6a and the latest Intel M7i instances.

Amazon EC2 - m7a.medium performance is very stable over long periods of time

It was not a good idea to change the standard name for the metal instance. All instance families have always used "metal". No suffix was necessary (...) Please don't re:invent new conventions that break existing data.

Amazon EC2 - m7a.medium serves more than 20 HTTP requests per second per vCPU

Modernizing your AWS deployment to M7a can mean significant savings on operating costs. When moving from M6i to M7a customers can see up to 2x performance uplift and save 37% on Cloud OPEX on average.

Wow! Great benchmark with great info. I'm collecting some articles to convince my employer to pay for a subscription. This one just hit the top of that list. Great work.

Organizations migrating from an on-premises data center, or another cloud provider, to AWS also benefit from selecting M7a instances. Here again, choosing AMD can deliver significant savings compared to the latest Intel-based M7i instance.
