      Server Description

      A dedicated general-purpose instance featuring balanced memory allocation and baseline network performance for standard application hosting workloads.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m5n.xlarge is a general-purpose instance optimized for network and EBS workloads, running on the Nitro hypervisor. It features an Intel Xeon 8259CL x86_64 processor with 4 dedicated vCPUs, a 3.1 GHz clock speed, and 16.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs, relying on a 4 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data places the m5n.xlarge in the bottom 25% for most compute, database, and compression tests, though its memory subsystem and single-core Geekbench scores reach the middle 50%. Qualitatively, it represents an entry-level dedicated resource tier with balanced memory-to-vCPU ratios. It is best suited for general-purpose application hosting, basic web serving, and lightweight background tasks that do not require high-performance multi-core processing or local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.253Score
      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.
