<p>Starting today, Amazon EC2 Hpc8a instances are available in Asia Pacific (Singapore) region. These instances are powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors (formerly code named Turin). With a maximum frequency of 4.5GHz, Hpc8a instances deliver up to 40% higher performance and up to 25% better price performance compared to Hpc7a instances, helping customers accelerate compute-intensive workloads while optimizing costs. Compared to Hpc7a instances, Hpc8a instances also provide up to 42% higher memory bandwidth, further improving performance for memory-intensive simulations and scientific computing workloads. <br> <br> Built on the latest sixth-generation <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/nitro/">AWS Nitro Cards</a>, Hpc8a instances are designed for compute-intensive, latency-sensitive HPC workloads. They are ideal for tightly coupled applications such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), weather forecasting, explicit finite element analysis (FEA), and multiphysics simulations that require fast inter-node communication and consistent high performance. <br> <br> To get started, sign in to the <a href="https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/?trk=d8ec3b19-0f37-4f8c-8c12-189f913e205c&sc_channel=el">AWS Management Console</a>.
