@blamb I believe the R* series of instance types generally have more memory (RAM) than the corresponding T* instance types. I'm not aware of any better "handling" of the memory.

memory_usage, benchmarking

I would assume that the recommendation to switch from T3 to R5 for network connectivity reasons is because a T3 instance has "up to 5Gbps" network performance, while an R5 server will have "up to 10Gbps" or more depending on the specific size you pick.

benchmarking

The r instance family is memory-optimized, which you might use for in-memory databases, real-time processing of unstructured big data, or Hadoop/Spark clusters.
