      Server Description

      An x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and DDR5 memory for CPU-intensive workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c7i.2xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8488C processor running at 3.2 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of DDR5 memory. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show average CPU capabilities, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 1926.0 and strong single-threaded gzip compression at 32.73 GB/sec. However, memory performance is a relative bottleneck, with a weak Passmark memory score. Supported by Intel AVX-512 and AMX extensions, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for CPU-bound tasks like software compilation, text processing, and static web serving, while being less suited for memory-heavy databases.

      Workload Profiles

      0.81Score
      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.
