    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m5ad.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 32.0 GB of DDR4 RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7571 processor at 2.2 GHz. It includes 300 GB of local NVMe SSD instance storage and a 2 Gbps baseline network speed. Benchmark data shows weak to poor single-core and multi-core CPU performance, though it maintains average scores in Passmark CPU encryption and memory tests. With its balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and local NVMe storage, this instance is suited for general-purpose applications, static web serving, and workloads requiring temporary local storage.

    Workload Profiles

    0.294Score
    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.
