    Server Description

    A compute-optimized instance combining high-frequency Intel processors with fast local NVMe storage for intensive single-threaded and text processing workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Amazon Web Services c8id.2xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance powered by a 3.9 GHz Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor. Running on the Nitro hypervisor, it delivers 8 dedicated vCPUs, 16.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 7 GHz, and a bundled 474 GB NVMe SSD local instance store. It features a baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps. Benchmarks show strong single-core performance, with Geekbench single-core scoring 2151.0 and text processing reaching the top 10% tier at 2975.0. While multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain average, the instance excels at single-threaded tasks like gzip compression and small-model LLM text generation. The 1:2 RAM-to-vCPU ratio makes it highly efficient for compute-heavy workloads needing fast local storage, such as software compilation, text processing, and web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.955Score
    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.
