      Server Description

      A dedicated compute instance featuring Intel Xeon processors and optimized network performance for basic web serving and text processing workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c5n.xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 2 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8124M processor running at 3.4 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 10.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a baseline network bandwidth of 5 Gbps, with no local storage. The CPU architecture supports AVX-512 and AES instructions. Benchmark results place its raw CPU and memory performance mostly in the bottom 25%, though it achieves average marks in text processing and bzip3 decompression. This instance is qualitatively positioned as a budget-friendly option for network-bound workloads, basic web serving, and lightweight text processing tasks requiring dedicated compute resources.

      Workload Profiles

      0.256Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
