      Server Description

      An ARM64-based compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated physical cores and a balanced resource footprint for lightweight utility workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c6g.xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 4 dedicated ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 physical cores running at 2.5 GHz and 8.0 GB of system memory. Built on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it delivers a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps, with no local storage or GPU acceleration. Performance benchmarks show average capabilities in stress-ng CPU tests, alongside weak performance in Geekbench single-core (965.0) and multi-core (3252.0) metrics. The instance lacks AVX and AMX instruction sets, and exhibits weak small-block memory bandwidth and poor Passmark encryption scores. It represents a qualitatively cost-efficient option for ARM64-native environments, making it suitable for lightweight compute tasks, software compilation, static web serving, and basic database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.31Score
      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.
