      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A bare-metal compute platform featuring three hundred eighty-four Intel vCPUs and DDR5 memory for high-throughput parallel processing workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c8i.metal-96xl is a bare-metal, compute-optimized server featuring 384 vCPUs across 192 physical Intel Xeon 6975P-C cores running at 3.9 GHz. It includes 768.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 7 GHz, offering a 2.0 GB per core ratio, but contains no local storage or GPUs. Network connectivity is supported by a 100 Gbps baseline bandwidth. Benchmark results place this server in the top tier for multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations, aided by Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets. However, text generation speeds for large language models remain average to poor due to the lack of hardware accelerators. This bare-metal instance is designed for compute-heavy workloads, multi-threaded software compilation, and high-throughput database tasks where direct hardware access is required.

      Workload Profiles

      14.7Score
      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.
