      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized x86_64 virtual server featuring high-speed DDR5 memory and dedicated Intel Xeon processors for single-threaded and text-processing workloads.

      Compute Optimized

      The Amazon Web Services c8i.4xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 16 vCPUs and 8 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor running at 3.9 GHz. It includes 32.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 7 GHz, providing 2.0 GB per core, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 8 Gbps. In benchmarks, it exhibits top-tier single-core performance, particularly in Geekbench single-core and text processing tests, alongside strong single-threaded compression speeds. Multi-core metrics and memory bandwidth align with average tiers. Due to its high clock speed and dedicated CPU allocation, the c8i.4xlarge is suited for compute-intensive workloads such as software compilation, web serving, and lightweight LLM text generation, though users must account for the lack of local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      1.6Score
      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.
