Machine Types
Pricing and specs of machines available within Core.
Intro to Machines
Core offers a wide array of machine types, each suitable for a particular use-case. There are four types of machines:
| Machine Type | Description |
|---|---|
| CPU | A mix of memory and vCPUs. |
| GPU | Dedicated access to a single GPU. |
| Multi-GPU | Up to 8 dedicated GPUs per machine. |
| Virtual GPU (Windows only) | Recommended for general-purpose desktop computing. Not suitable for graphics or compute-intensive tasks. |
Note: This article describes the machine sizes (assigned amount of vCPUs, RAM, GPU, etc.) and pricing. To learn more about the relative performance of each machine type, view this guide.
Hourly vs. Monthly Pricing
All machines can be billed on-demand on an hourly pay-as-you-go basis or on a monthly basis for sustained usage.
Note: All on-demand "hourly" machines are billed per second — we quote on-demand pricing by the hour because the amount is friendlier than the per-second price.

Virtual GPU Machines
(Windows only)
Virtual GPUs are offered in the Air, Standard, Advanced, and Pro machine types. This family is optimized for general-purpose desktop computing and is not suitable for graphics or compute-intensive applications. The GPU included in this family is the NVIDIA GRID "virtual" GPU, which does not support CUDA, OpenCL, OpenGL, and other features required for high-end GPU workloads.
