      Server Description

      An ARMv9-based compute-optimized instance featuring eight dedicated cores, balanced memory bandwidth, and baseline network speeds for containerized workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c8gb.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring an 8-core AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it provides 8 dedicated vCPUs, 16.0 GB of system memory, and a baseline network bandwidth of 17 Gbps, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmarks show average performance across most compute and memory tests, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 10105.0 and a static web serving throughput of 19.31 GB/sec. It exhibits strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression but shows a performance tradeoff in Passmark CPU encryption, which ranks in the bottom 25%. This instance is suited for general compute tasks, software compilation, static web serving, and lightweight database operations where a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio is optimal.

      Workload Profiles

      0.904Score
      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.
