      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM64 compute-optimized instance delivering strong single-core performance and high memory efficiency for dedicated workloads.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services c9g.2xlarge is an ARM64 compute-optimized server powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V3 processor running at 3.3 GHz. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it features 16.0 GB of RAM, 4 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, and no local storage or GPU. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core and memory performance, highlighted by strong single-threaded gzip compression and text processing. However, encryption and medium LLM prompt processing show weaker relative performance. This instance is highly suited for compute-intensive tasks, software compilation, web serving, and lightweight text generation.

      Workload Profiles

      1.44Score
      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.
