      Server Description

      A high clock speed virtual server featuring dedicated processing power optimized for single threaded applications and network attached storage environments.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services m5zn.large is a general-purpose, network and EBS-optimized instance utilizing the Nitro hypervisor. It features a dedicated Intel Xeon 8252C x86_64 processor with 2 vCPUs (1 physical core, 2 threads) running at a high clock speed of 4.5 GHz, paired with 8.0 GB of DDR4 memory. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs, relying on a 3 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmarks show strong single-threaded performance, such as a gzip compression speed of 31.71 GB/sec, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics fall into lower percentiles due to the single-core limitation. This profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for single-threaded tasks or per-core licensed software, making it suitable for lightweight web serving, basic text processing, and single-threaded utility workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.186Score
      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.
