    Server Description

    A bare-metal, storage-optimized ARM server featuring 192 dedicated cores and 45 terabytes of high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i8g.metal-48xl is a storage-optimized bare-metal server designed for high-throughput data workloads. Powered by AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processors, it delivers 192 dedicated physical cores on the arm64 architecture, paired with 1536.0 GB of DDR5 memory and a massive 45,000 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. The server features a 100 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data highlights top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory bandwidth, and superior database execution speeds, including 347.98 million operations per second in Redis SET tests. Conversely, single-core performance and LLM text generation are moderate to weak. This bare-metal configuration offers high resource density and qualitative cost efficiency for I/O-intensive applications, making it an excellent fit for large-scale databases, high-capacity caching layers, static web serving, and intensive multi-threaded data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    8.45Score
    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.
