    Server Description

    An ARM64 storage-optimized instance featuring dedicated cores, massive local NVMe SSD capacity, and top-tier memory bandwidth for database workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services i8g.8xlarge is an ARM64 storage-optimized server running on the AWS Nitro hypervisor. It features 32 dedicated physical cores powered by the AWS Neoverse-V2 processor at 2.8 GHz, paired with 256.0 GB of memory and 7500 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. The server delivers top-tier memory bandwidth, with large-block read-only speeds reaching 406.47 GB/sec and write speeds at 183.77 GB/sec, both placing in the top 10%. Passmark database operations and Geekbench multi-core performance also rank in the top 10%. While single-core performance and large LLM prompt processing are average to weak, the instance provides high resource density and efficient memory throughput. It is highly suited for database operations, Redis caching, and high-throughput storage workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    2.91Score
    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.
