    Server Description

    An ARM64 compute-optimized server featuring dedicated physical cores, high-speed local NVMe storage, and top-tier memory bandwidth for database workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c8gd.8xlarge is a compute-optimized server featuring 32 dedicated ARM64 cores based on the 2.8 GHz AWS Neoverse-V2 architecture. It is equipped with 64.0 GB of memory, 1900 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and a 15 Gbps baseline network interface. Benchmarks demonstrate top-tier memory bandwidth, with large-block reads reaching 384.64 GB/sec, and exceptional database performance, scoring 46924.96 in Passmark database operations. The instance also delivers strong multi-core performance in software compilation and static web serving. However, it exhibits weak performance in large-scale LLM prompt processing. The c8gd.8xlarge provides high qualitative cost efficiency for compute-intensive workloads requiring fast local storage, making it highly suitable for database hosting, multi-threaded data processing, and web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    3.03Score
    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.
