    Server Description

    Storage-optimized 72-vCPU x86 instance equipped with 576 GB DDR5 memory and 45 TB NVMe SSD storage for intensive database workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i7ie.18xlarge is a storage-optimized server powered by 36 physical cores and 72 vCPUs from Intel Xeon 8559C processors running at 3.2 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. Built on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it features 576.0 GB of DDR5 memory and 45,000 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, along with 75 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The hardware includes hardware accelerations such as Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) and AVX-512. Benchmarks highlight strong multi-core compute capability with a multi-core stress-ng score of 69,824.62, top-tier Geekbench scores, and high static web serving throughput of 109.44 GB/sec. Memory bandwidth reaches 5,448.13 GB/sec for small cached blocks, while Redis SET performance registers at 91.92 million operations per second. The combination of dense local SSD capacity and high memory allocation yields strong qualitative cost efficiency for I/O-heavy workloads, avoiding remote storage bottlenecks. It is best suited for enterprise databases, key-value stores, real-time analytics, and software compilation.

    Workload Profiles

    4.3Score
    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.
