      Server Description

      A bare-metal general-purpose instance delivering high-bandwidth networking and strong multi-core performance for demanding enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m5n.metal is a bare-metal, general-purpose server powered by a dedicated 3.1 GHz Intel Xeon 8259CL processor. It features 96 vCPUs, 48 physical cores, and 384.0 GB of DDR4 memory, with a baseline network bandwidth of 100 Gbps and no local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks indicate strong multi-core CPU performance and high memory bandwidth, alongside high throughput for static web serving and Redis operations. However, single-core performance is average, and LLM text generation is weak due to the absence of hardware accelerators. This instance is best suited for network-intensive workloads, multi-threaded applications, and high-throughput web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      3.22Score
      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.
