Hi, I'm Shii-chan! Today's news is about Amazon WorkSpaces, AWS's cloud desktop service, getting access to a brand-new generation of GPUs. If you do graphics-heavy work, this one's worth a look!

AWS What's New aws.amazon.com

What was announced?

According to AWS What's New, Amazon WorkSpaces Personal and Amazon WorkSpaces Core now support a new "Graphics G7" bundle.

  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition
  • CPU: Intel Xeon 6 processors
  • GPU memory: 32 GB of GDDR7 per GPU

Compared to the previous-generation Graphics G6 bundles, Graphics G7 delivers up to 2.1x better performance for graphics-intensive workloads.

The story so far

WorkSpaces already offered GPU-backed bundles like Graphics G6, but Graphics G7 moves to Blackwell-generation GPUs paired with Intel Xeon 6 CPUs — a full generational jump that lifts performance across the board.

What changes

Graphics G7 comes in four bundle sizes.

  • Smallest: 8 vCPUs, 32 GB memory, 1 GPU
  • Largest: 48 vCPUs, 192 GB memory, 2 GPUs

That kind of horsepower makes these demanding workloads much more comfortable to run:

  • CAD/CAM
  • 3D rendering
  • Scientific visualization
  • Video editing
  • AI-assisted design workflows

With 32 GB of GPU memory per card, you can also work with larger, more complex 3D scenes and models. The bundles support Windows (including bring-your-own-license) and both AlwaysOn and AutoStop running modes.

Dive Deep

Graphics G7 is available for both WorkSpaces Personal and WorkSpaces Core, currently in three regions:

  • US East (N. Virginia)
  • US East (Ohio)
  • US West (Oregon)

AWS says more regions are coming as availability expands. Getting started is simple — just pick a Graphics G7 bundle when creating a workspace in the WorkSpaces console, or through your WorkSpaces Core partner solution.

Wrap-up

  • WorkSpaces Personal and Core now support Graphics G7, built on NVIDIA Blackwell-generation GPUs
  • Up to 2.1x the performance of G6, with 32 GB of GPU memory per card
  • Four bundle sizes up to 48 vCPUs / 192 GB memory / 2 GPUs, currently available in three US regions

If you're a creator or engineer running CAD, rendering, or video editing on a remote desktop, this upgrade has been a long time coming!
