    Server Description

    An x86_64 server combining forty-eight vCPUs, half a terabyte of DDR4 memory, and fast local NVMe storage for memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services f2.12xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring a dedicated 48-vCPU AMD EPYC 7R13 processor running at 3.4 GHz, paired with 512.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a bundled 1880 GB NVMe SSD. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it delivers 25 Gbps of baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data shows strong multi-core CPU performance, PassMark encryption, and multi-threaded decompression, all placing in the top 25%. However, memory bandwidth and database operations remain in the average tier, and text generation for large 70B LLM models is poor, ranking in the bottom 10%. With a high memory-to-core ratio and no GPU, this server represents a qualitatively cost-efficient profile for memory-heavy workloads and local storage operations. It is suited for multi-threaded data processing, image processing, and memory-intensive database applications.

    Workload Profiles

    1.84Score
    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.
