    Server Description

    A storage-optimized platform combining high-capacity local NVMe SSD storage with fast DDR5 memory for data-intensive database and processing workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i7i.8xlarge is a storage-optimized instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs (16 physical cores) powered by an Intel Xeon 8559C processor at 3.2 GHz. It includes 256.0 GB of DDR5 memory and a bundled 7500 GB NVMe SSD, operating on the Nitro hypervisor with a 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results show strong performance in large-block memory bandwidth, single-core Geekbench execution, and data decompression. While it achieves top-tier text generation speeds for small language models, text generation for large 70B models is a performance tradeoff, ranking in the bottom 25%. This instance is structured for storage-heavy and memory-intensive applications, making it suitable for relational databases, transactional workloads, and data processing tasks that benefit from high-capacity local NVMe storage and fast memory access.

    Workload Profiles

    2.8Score
    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.
