    Server Description

    A storage-optimized instance featuring high-capacity local NVMe SSDs, DDR5 memory, and strong single-core processing performance for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i7ie.2xlarge is a storage-optimized instance featuring 8 vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8559C processor, 64.0 GB of 6 GHz DDR5 memory, and a bundled 5000 GB local NVMe SSD. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this x86_64 instance delivers a baseline network speed of 8 Gbps. Benchmarks highlight top-tier single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2312.0 and strong single-threaded compression performance. While multi-core scaling and larger LLM text generation present performance tradeoffs, its high local storage capacity and 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio offer excellent qualitative cost efficiency for data-dense environments. It is highly suited for database operations, caching layers, and storage-intensive enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.958Score
    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.
