I think the most noteworthy feature is the 10G Nic
The NIC is not the most interesting part, but the network is: not only do these new instances offer 10 GigE, but they also offer full bisection bandwidth to all instances in a placement group (=> no oversubscription of core switches). That is pretty unusual, and a big win for network-intensive applications.
