    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated physical cores, balanced memory, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for database and web workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m6gd.2xlarge is an ARM64-based general-purpose instance powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 32.0 GB of RAM, a 474 GB local NVMe SSD instance store, and a 2 Gbps baseline network speed. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it delivers dedicated physical cores without hyperthreading. Benchmarks show average multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 5299.0 and strong memory read bandwidth of up to 472.98 GB/sec. However, single-core performance is relatively weak, as indicated by a Geekbench single-core score of 909.0. The instance is efficient for workloads requiring balanced compute and fast local storage, such as database operations, caching layers, and static web serving, but is less optimal for intensive single-threaded tasks or machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.57Score
    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.
