      Server Description

      A dedicated single-core ARM64 compute instance offering consistent performance and high network efficiency for lightweight workloads and microservices.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c8gn.medium is a compute-optimized, ARM64-based instance powered by a single dedicated AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor core running at 2.8 GHz. It features 2.0 GB of system memory, a 36 MB L3 cache, and a baseline network bandwidth of 3 Gbps. Running on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance lacks local storage and GPU acceleration. Benchmarks indicate strong single-threaded performance in bzip3 decompression (14.17 GB/sec) and average gzip compression, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are low due to the single vCPU configuration. This instance provides a highly cost-efficient entry point for ARM64 development, lightweight single-threaded applications, microservices, and static web serving where consistent, dedicated CPU performance is required without the overhead of larger multi-core configurations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.187Score
      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.
