Announcing general availability of Amazon EC2 M3 Ultra Mac instances

Amazon Web Services announces general availability of Amazon EC2 M3 Ultra Mac instances, powered by the latest Mac Studio hardware. Amazon EC2 M3 Ultra Mac instances are the next-generation EC2 Mac instances, that enable Apple developers to migrate their most demanding build and test workloads onto AWS. These instances are ideal for building and testing applications for Apple platforms such as iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS, and Safari.

M3 Ultra Mac instances are powered by the AWS Nitro System, providing up to 10 Gbps network bandwidth and 8 Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) storage bandwidth. These instances are built on Apple M3 Ultra Mac Studio computers featuring a 28-core CPU, 60-core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine, and 256GB of unified memory. Compared to EC2 M4 Max Mac instances, M3 Ultra Mac instances provide 2x the unified memory, 1.75x the CPU cores, 1.5x the GPU cores, and 2x the Neural Engine cores, giving Apple developers the headroom to run significantly more Xcode simulators in parallel and accelerate on-device ML workflows to improve product time to market.
