AWS EC2 m7i Intel Sapphire Rapids — 10% Price Reduction Across All Sizes
AWS reduced m7i (Intel Sapphire Rapids) pricing 10% across all sizes. m7i.2xlarge now $0.4032/hr (was $0.4478). Brings m7i pricing closer to m7g (Graviton3) which remains ~19% cheaper.
TCOIQ: The 10% cut narrows but does not close the gap with Graviton. m7g.2xlarge at $0.3264/hr is still 19% cheaper than m7i at $0.4032/hr. For Windows workloads where ARM is not available, m7i is now more competitive. For Linux, m7g or R8g (Graviton4) remain the better value.
