    Server Description

    An ARM64 compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated physical cores and high-speed local NVMe storage for database and web-serving workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    The Amazon Web Services c8gd.2xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated physical cores powered by an ARM64 AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM, a 474 GB local NVMe SSD instance store, and a baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this server delivers average performance across standard compute benchmarks, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 9615.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 7668.87. While cryptographic performance is relatively weak, the instance excels in memory bandwidth and local storage access. This hardware profile makes the c8gd.2xlarge highly cost-efficient for workloads requiring dedicated ARM compute paired with fast local storage, such as database operations, Redis caching, static web serving, and general-purpose utility computing.

    Workload Profiles

    1.01Score
    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.
