Instance type m5 and c5

Question

While some GPUs/instance types for SageMaker are explained in 
https://pages.awscloud.com/rs/112-TZM-766/images/AL-ML%20for%20Startups%20-%20Select%20the%20Right%20ML%20Instance.pdf
and 
https://towardsdatascience.com/choosing-the-right-gpu-for-deep-learning-on-aws-d69c157d8c86 
, there is not much explanation for recommended Instance types such as m5 and c5 mentioned here
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/cmn-info-instance-types.html  .  Where can I find an explanation?

Thanks in advance.
