    Server Description

    A general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon compute, DDR4 memory, and low-latency local NVMe SSD storage for balanced workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m5dn.large is a general-purpose, network and EBS-optimized instance utilizing the Nitro hypervisor. It is configured with an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 3.1 GHz, delivering 2 vCPUs from a single physical core. The instance includes 8.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a bundled 75 GB NVMe SSD for local instance storage. Performance benchmarks show average single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1188.0, but poor multi-core and memory bandwidth results due to the 2-vCPU constraint. With a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring low-latency local storage and moderate compute, such as small-scale databases, lightweight web serving, and basic caching applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.145Score
    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.
