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