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.

Intel says that its CPUs featuring AMX are capable of meeting the performance requirements for large language models (LLMs) with less than 20 billion parameters.

M7i instances also support the new Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) for accelerated matrix multiplication operations and include built-in Intel accelerators for efficient data operations.

The M7i instances are designed for general-purpose workloads requiring the largest instance sizes or continuous high CPU usage, including large application servers and databases, gaming servers, CPU-based machine learning, and video streaming.

The new M7i instances are said to deliver up to 19% better price performance compared to the older M6i instances and are aimed at businesses and developers seeking efficient, high-performing compute resources in the cloud.

These processors are said to deliver up to 15% better performance over comparable CPUs used by other cloud providers.

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M7i-flex and M7i instances are next-generation general purpose instances powered by custom 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code named Sapphire Rapids) and feature a 4:1 ratio of memory to vCPU.

As you are aware, as of May 2024, there are no m7i series instance types with NVMe-based volumes.

I understand your explanation, but the reason why AWS took the decision is not clear, as the equivalent ARM instance type, m7g, has m7gd instance types, so is not only a matter of "consistency across different instance types"

m7i instances in AWS don't have built-in storage like previous types. Instead, they use EBS volumes for storage. AWS likely chose this because EBS is more flexible, reliable, and consistent across different instance types. It also allows for better cost management.

I'm migrating from previous instance type m6id to m7i and I cannot migrate using the same storage configuration as m7i instance type has no Instance Storage

I measured cpu performance on the M7i, M6in etc… and all of them run at about max 8% cpu usage but the fps stay at around 30. It seems like it’s throttling … Any ideas? I need to run Indian servers. And i don’t know what to do.

i still have cpu credits available. More than enough. The performance is different in both regions.

We tried setting up On-Demand M7i, M6i and M6in (which is per AWS good for game server deployment) instances. But are getting the exact same result.
