      Server Description

      A high-density, compute-optimized platform featuring 64 Intel Xeon vCPUs and fast DDR5 memory for demanding multi-threaded workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c8i-flex.16xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 64 vCPUs and 32 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor running at 3.9 GHz. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes 128.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 7 GHz, providing 2.0 GB of RAM per core, with no local storage and a baseline network bandwidth of 15 Gbps. The processor supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. In benchmark evaluations, the server delivers top-tier performance in multi-core processing, software compilation, and image processing, alongside strong memory bandwidth and database operation throughput. This hardware configuration is optimized for compute-intensive workloads, including software development pipelines, high-throughput web serving, database management, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

      Workload Profiles

      4.42Score
      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.
