    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    High-density bare-metal server featuring 192 vCPUs, 1.5 TB DDR5 RAM, and 120 TB local NVMe storage for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedCompute Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i7ie.metal-48xl is a bare-metal storage-optimized instance featuring 96 physical cores and 192 vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8559C processor running at 3.2 GHz. The instance is equipped with 1,536 GB of DDR5 RAM, 120,000 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, and a baseline network bandwidth of 200 Gbps. Hardware-level execution is augmented by 320 MB of L3 cache alongside instruction sets such as AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Multi-core compute benchmarks rank in the top tier, supported by high memory bandwidth and database operational throughput, including over 214 million Redis SET operations per second. Lacking dedicated GPUs, CPU-bound machine learning tasks rely on AMX support. The server provides resource consolidation for IOPS-demanding database clusters, real-time analytics, and enterprise 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.
