      Server Description

      A dedicated compute instance featuring enhanced networking capabilities and balanced single-core performance for lightweight, network-bound workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c5n.xlarge is a compute-optimized instance utilizing the Nitro hypervisor and an Intel Xeon 8124M processor. Operating at 3.4 GHz, it features 4 vCPUs across 2 physical cores, 10.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a 5 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, with no local storage or GPU. Benchmark data shows a split performance profile: while Geekbench single-core and text processing achieve average ratings, multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations generally fall into the bottom 25%. The instance offers a dedicated CPU allocation but is constrained by its low memory-to-vCPU ratio. It is best suited for network-bound applications, lightweight web serving, and single-threaded processing tasks that do not require extensive memory or high-performance multi-core scaling.

      Workload Profiles

      0.258Score
      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.
