      Server Description

      A compute-optimized virtual server featuring forty-eight vCPUs and DDR5 memory, engineered for high-throughput processing and CPU-based machine learning inference.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c8i-flex.12xlarge is a compute-optimized instance powered by the Nitro hypervisor. It features 48 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor running at 3.9 GHz, paired with 96.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 7 GHz. Lacking local storage and GPUs, the instance relies on an 11 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show strong performance, including a Passmark CPU score of 69241.15 and top-tier results in image processing and small-model LLM text generation. Supported by advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX, the c8i-flex.12xlarge is highly efficient for compute-heavy workloads such as software compilation, database operations, static web serving, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

      Workload Profiles

      3.62Score
      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.
