Server Description
A compute-optimized x86 server offering 32 vCPUs, DDR5 memory, Intel AMX instruction support, and high single-threaded data compression throughput.
Amazon Web Services c7i-flex.8xlarge is a compute-optimized instance driven by a 3.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8488C processor featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs across 16 physical cores, 64.0 GB of DDR5 memory, and a 6 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Built on the AWS Nitro hypervisor without local SSD storage or GPU acceleration, the server incorporates 105 MB of L3 cache, AVX-512, and Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX). Performance testing highlights strong single-core efficiency, with top-tier results in gzip compression (33.6 GB/sec), static web serving throughput (51.12 GB/sec), and text processing benchmarks. Multi-threaded CPU execution and uncached DDR5 memory bandwidth perform in the average tier. The instance provides cost efficiency through flexible resource scaling, making it well suited for web serving, data compression pipelines, software build compiling, and small-model machine learning inference.
