    Server Description

    A bare-metal ARMv9 server delivering one hundred and twenty terabytes of NVMe storage and high-throughput multi-core processing for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Amazon Web Services i8ge.metal-48xl is a storage-optimized bare-metal server featuring 192 dedicated physical ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 cores running at 2.7 GHz. It is equipped with 1536.0 GB of DDR5 memory and a massive 120,000 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, supported by a 300 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. In benchmarks, the server demonstrates top-tier multi-core capabilities, including a stress-ng multi-core score of 287,164.37 and Redis SET throughput of 378.59 million operations per second. Memory read bandwidth is also exceptional, reaching 897.06 GB/sec for uncached large blocks. While single-core performance and LLM text generation are relatively average, its massive storage capacity and high memory bandwidth provide excellent qualitative resource density. This bare-metal instance is highly suited for large-scale database systems, high-throughput caching, software compilation, and data-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    9.1Score
    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.
