Customers across industries are harnessing the power of generative AI on AWS to boost employee productivity, deliver exceptional customer experiences, and streamline business processes. However, the growth in demand for GPU capacity has outpaced industry-wide supply, making GPUs a scarce resource and increasing the cost of securing them.
As Amazon Web Services (AWS) grows, we work hard to lower our costs so that we can pass those savings back to our customers. Regular price reductions on AWS services have been a standard way for AWS to pass on the economic efficiencies gained from our scale back to our customers.
Today, we’re announcing up to 45 percent price reduction for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) NVIDIA GPU-accelerated instances: P4 (P4d and P4de) and P5 (P5 and P5en) instance types. This price reduction to On-Demand and Savings Plan pricing applies to all Regions where these instances are available. The pricing reduction applies to On-Demand purchases beginning June 1 and to Savings Plan purchases effective after June 4.
Here is a table of price reductions percentage (%) from May 31, 2025 baseline prices by instance types and pricing plans:
| Instance type | NVIDIA GPUs | On-Demand | EC2 Instance Savings Plans | Compute Savings Plans |
||
| 1 year | 3 years | 1 year | 3 years | |||
| P4d | A100 | 33% | 31% | 25% | 31% | – |
| P4de | A100 | 33% | 31% | 25% | 31% | – |
| P5 | H100 | 44% | – | 45% | 44% | 25% |
| P5en | H200 | 25% | – | 26% | 25% | – |
Savings Plans are a flexible pricing model that offer low prices on compute usage, in exchange for a commitment to a consistent amount of usage (measured in $/hour) for a 1- or 3- year term. We offers two types of Savings Plans:
- EC2 Instance Savings Plans provide the lowest prices, offering savings in exchange for commitment to usage of individual instance families in a Region (for example, P5 usage in the US (N. Virginia) Region).
- Compute Savings Plans provide the most flexibility and help to reduce your costs regardless of instance family, size, Availability Zones, and Regions (for example, from P4d to P5en instances, shift a workload between US Regions).
To provide increased accessibility to reduced pricing, we are making at-scale On-Demand capacity available for:
- P4d instances in the Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Canada (Central), and Europe (London) Regions
- P4de instances in the US East (N. Virginia) Region
- P5 instances in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), and South America (São Paulo) Regions
- P5en instances in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Regions
We are also now delivering Amazon EC2 P6-B200 instances through Savings Plan to support large scale deployments, which became available on May 15, 2025 at launch only through EC2 Capacity Blocks for ML. EC2 P6-B200 instances, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, accelerate a broad range of GPU-enabled workloads but are especially well-suited for large-scale distributed AI training and inferencing.
These pricing updates reflect the AWS commitment to making advanced GPU computing more accessible while passing cost savings directly to customers.
Give Amazon EC2 NVIDIA GPU-accelerated instances a try in the Amazon EC2 console. To learn more about these pricing updates, visit Amazon EC2 Pricing page and send feedback to AWS re:Post for EC2 or through your usual AWS Support contacts.
