      Server Description

      A high-frequency, general-purpose virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and optimized network performance for compute-sensitive workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services m5zn.3xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose server instance powered by a dedicated 4.5 GHz Intel Xeon 8252C processor with 12 vCPUs and 48.0 GB of DDR4 RAM. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 15 Gbps but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmarks indicate average performance across most categories, including a Geekbench single-core score of 1544.0 and multi-core score of 7676.0, alongside a strong single-threaded gzip compression speed of 31.64 GB/sec. However, LLM prompt processing for a 7B model is relatively weak at 20.52 tokens/sec. This instance is suited for high-frequency general-purpose workloads, software compilation, and database operations where high clock speed is required but local storage is not a necessity.

      Workload Profiles

      0.811Score
      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.
