CPU and System Topology

Server Description

An AMD-powered instance bundling local NVMe storage and a dedicated Radeon Pro GPU for graphics-intensive workloads and light acceleration.

GPU AcceleratedGeneral Purpose

Amazon Web Services g4ad.xlarge is a graphics-focused instance featuring an AMD EPYC 7R32 processor with 4 vCPUs, 16.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and a 150 GB local NVMe SSD. It is equipped with a single AMD Radeon Pro Navi V520 GPU providing 8 GB of VRAM. Running on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers dedicated CPU resources at a 3.0 GHz clock speed. Benchmark results show modest CPU and memory performance, with stress-ng and multi-core Geekbench scores falling into the lower percentiles, while single-core tasks and small-model LLM text generation perform at average levels. The instance offers a cost-efficient entry point for GPU-accelerated workloads by bundling local NVMe storage and graphics hardware. It is best suited for graphics-intensive applications, remote desktop hosting, and light machine learning inference rather than heavy database or high-throughput compute tasks.

Workload Profiles

0.26Score
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.
