IT companies use these instances to run application servers, gaming servers, HPC workloads, video encoding, ad servers, and more.

X2gd instances are available in eight sizes, and also in bare metal form.
the new X2gd instances offer 55% better price/performance than existing X1 instances.
The X2gd instances also offer the lowest price per GiB of memory of any current EC2 instance.
The fast SSD-based local NVMe storage, X2gd instances support Elastic Network Adapter (ENA), and can deliver up to 25 Gbps of network bandwidth between instances when launched within a Placement Group.
