Server Description
An x86_64 general-purpose instance with balanced memory, dedicated Intel Xeon cores, and optimized network throughput for EBS-reliant workloads.
Amazon Web Services m5n.2xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose instance optimized for network and EBS performance. Powered by the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it features an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 3.1 GHz with 8 vCPUs (4 physical cores) and 32.0 GB of DDR4 memory. It does not include local storage or GPUs, relying entirely on network-attached storage. Performance benchmarks indicate average multi-core CPU capabilities, database operations, and memory bandwidth, though single-core performance and complex tasks like 7B LLM inference are weak. With a baseline network bandwidth of 8 Gbps, this instance is appropriate for general-purpose workloads, static web serving, software compilation, and moderate database operations.
