Server Description
A compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and high-speed DDR5 memory for single-threaded and lightweight inference workloads.
The Amazon Web Services c7a.4xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 16 dedicated physical cores and 16 vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 9R14 processor running at 3.7 GHz. Built on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it includes 32.0 GB of DDR5 memory operating at 5 GHz, resulting in a 2.0 GB per core memory ratio. It does not include local storage or GPUs, and it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps. Performance benchmarks highlight strong single-core CPU capabilities and top-tier text generation speeds for small language models. This instance is designed for compute-intensive workloads, text processing, and lightweight inference tasks that benefit from dedicated physical cores and high-speed memory.
