    Server Description

    A high-density bare-metal platform combining massive local NVMe storage, high-bandwidth DDR5 memory, and dedicated 192-core ARMv9 processing for data-intensive workloads.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i8ge.metal-48xl is a storage-optimized bare-metal server featuring 192 dedicated arm64 cores on the AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 architecture 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, alongside a 300 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data shows top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory bandwidth, and outstanding database throughput, including 378.59 million operations per second in Redis SET tests. However, single-core performance and LLM text generation remain average to poor. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for high-density storage and memory-heavy deployments, making it highly suitable for large-scale databases, high-throughput caching systems, and parallelized software compilation workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    8.99Score
    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.
