Retrospective edition: 2026-08-20. Source published: 2026-08-20. Added to this archive: 2026-11-03. This briefing was prepared later from the linked announcement; it was not published on this website on the historical edition date.

The P6-B300 instances provide eight NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs with 2.1 TB high-bandwidth GPU memory, 6.4 Tbps Elastic Fabric Adapter networking, and 4 TB system memory. Compared to predecessors, these instances double networking bandwidth and increase GPU memory and compute performance by 50%, targeting training and deploying trillion-parameter foundation and language models.

Available in select regions including Seoul, Oregon, and Virginia, the P6-B300 instances enable faster AI workload training and inference with improved token throughput. While AWS notes these capabilities, actual performance gains depend on workload and optimization strategies employed by users.
