Some workloads you can max CPU with 256 MB / core. Some workloads you will never max CPU before you run out of ram.

It's interesting that Amazon is putting almost no RAM in their servers. I find that 16GB/core maximizes GB/$ but they're using 4GB/core.
These are compute-optimized. They have others with more memory if that's your requirement.
Their current memory-optimized models go up to 244GB.
