    Server Description

    A bare-metal platform combining massive local NVMe storage, high-speed DDR5 memory, and dense multi-core processing for data-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedCompute Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i7i.metal-48xl is a bare-metal, storage-optimized server configured with 192 vCPUs via an Intel Xeon 8559C processor running at 3.2 GHz. It features 1536.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 6 GHz and 45000 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, alongside a 100 Gbps network baseline. Benchmark results place this server in the top 10% for multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations, though single-core performance remains average. The processor includes Intel AMX and AVX-512 extensions, which assist in achieving top-tier LLM inference speeds for medium-sized models. Qualitatively, the high density of local storage and RAM offers a cost-efficient alternative to external storage arrays for large-scale data workloads. This server is suited for high-throughput database systems, Redis deployments, and enterprise-grade data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    8.2Score
    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.
