Server Description
A compute-optimized, high-bandwidth x86_64 instance featuring 72 vCPUs and 100 Gbps networking for demanding multi-threaded and network-bound workloads.
Amazon Web Services c5n.18xlarge is a compute-optimized instance powered by the Nitro hypervisor and an Intel Xeon 8124M processor. It features 72 vCPUs (36 physical cores) running at 3.4 GHz, paired with 192.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators but provides a baseline network bandwidth of 100 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate strong multi-core CPU capabilities and high memory read bandwidth, alongside strong database operation scores. Conversely, single-core execution and LLM text generation speeds are relatively limited, with a 7B model generating only 7.23 tokens per second. This profile makes the instance suitable for network-intensive compute tasks, distributed database nodes, and multi-threaded processing workloads that leverage its high network throughput and multi-core capacity without requiring local physical disks.
