    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores, integrated NVMe local storage, and a balanced memory-to-vCPU ratio for lightweight workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m6gd.large is an ARM64 general-purpose instance featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs on an AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 8.0 GB of system memory and a 118 GB NVMe SSD local instance store. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Benchmark results indicate average single-core CPU performance with a stress-ng score of 1519.39, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics fall into the lower tiers, as shown by a Geekbench multi-core score of 1752.0. The instance lacks advanced vector extensions but includes hardware-accelerated AES cryptography. This configuration offers a cost-efficient profile for workloads requiring local NVMe storage and moderate compute power, making it suitable for lightweight database operations, basic web serving, and general-purpose ARM64 applications.

    0.167Score
    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.
