      Server Description

      A high-frequency general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores and balanced memory for compute-intensive and network-optimized workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services m5zn.2xlarge is a general-purpose, network and EBS-optimized instance utilizing the Nitro hypervisor. It features an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8252C processor with 8 dedicated vCPUs running at a high clock speed of 4.5 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance has no local storage or GPU. Performance benchmarks indicate average capabilities across most workloads, with a single-core Geekbench score of 1565.0 and a multi-core score of 5869.0. It exhibits strong single-threaded gzip compression at 31.88 GB/sec, though multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and medium-sized LLM inference are weaker. With a 10 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, this instance is suited for workloads requiring high clock speeds and balanced memory, such as web serving, database operations, and general-purpose applications relying on network-attached storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.585Score
      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.
