    Server Description

    An ARM64 bare-metal platform combining sixty-four dedicated cores with high-capacity local NVMe storage for efficient multi-threaded workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m6gd.metal is a bare-metal, general-purpose server powered by 64 dedicated ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 cores running at 2.5 GHz. It features 256 GB of DDR4 memory and 3800 GB of local NVMe SSD instance storage, supported by a 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The ARM64 architecture delivers strong multi-core performance, particularly in software compilation, Redis operations, and static web serving, where benchmarks place it in the top 25%. However, single-core performance and single-threaded compression tasks are weaker. This server offers qualitative cost efficiency for multi-threaded workloads and high-density deployments, making it highly suitable for database operations, caching layers, and web serving applications that benefit from local high-speed storage and dedicated physical cores.

    Workload Profiles

    2.5Score
    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.
