Amazon GameLift Streams launches Generation 6e stream classes for high-fidelity game streaming

Today, Amazon GameLift Streams launched Generation 6e (G6e) stream classes, providing enhanced GPU performance for streaming high-fidelity, graphically demanding games and applications. The new G6e stream classes are powered by EC2 G6e instances featuring NVIDIA L40S Tensor Core GPUs and 3rd generation AMD EPYC processors, delivering 2x the GPU memory and up to 2.9x faster GPU memory bandwidth compared to standard Generation 6 stream classes.

The two new G6e stream classes -- gen6e_pro and gen6e_pro_win2022 -- are designed for customers who need maximum GPU performance for AAA-quality game streaming or GPU-intensive applications. These classes provide a full dedicated NVIDIA L40S GPU with 48 GB of GPU memory, making them ideal for streaming experiences that require high frame rates at high resolutions.

Generation 6e stream classes are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Stockholm), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Seoul).
