    Server Description

    A compute-optimized x86 server featuring high-speed DDR5 memory, local NVMe storage, and strong single-core performance for targeted workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services c8id.xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring an Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor with 4 vCPUs, 2 physical cores, and 8.0 GB of DDR5 memory. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it includes a 237 GB local NVMe SSD and 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The processor supports AVX-512 and Intel AMX instructions. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core capabilities, including high single-threaded compression and decompression speeds, though multi-core scaling is limited by the dual-core physical layout. Memory bandwidth is average for large blocks but weaker for small cached blocks. With its integrated high-speed local storage and strong single-thread performance, the c8id.xlarge is well-suited for software compilation, static web serving, database operations, and lightweight single-threaded compute workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.533Score
    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.
