    Server Description

    An ARM64 storage-optimized platform featuring dedicated Neoverse-V2 cores, high-density local NVMe SSD storage, and top-tier memory bandwidth.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i8g.4xlarge is a storage-optimized server instance built on the ARM64 architecture using the AWS Nitro hypervisor. It features 16 dedicated physical cores powered by an AWS Neoverse-V2 processor clocked at 2.8 GHz, paired with 128.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 3750 GB local NVMe SSD. The instance delivers strong memory performance, highlighted by a top-tier PassMark memory score and strong large-block memory bandwidth of 296.95 GB/sec read and 130.36 GB/sec write. While CPU and decompression benchmarks are strong, LLM inference speeds represent a performance tradeoff, with poor throughput on larger models. Qualitatively, the combination of high-density local NVMe storage and 8.0 GB of RAM per core provides a cost-effective platform for storage-heavy workloads. It is best suited for database operations, caching systems, and data decompression pipelines.

    Workload Profiles

    1.78Score
    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.
