      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and DDR4 memory for standard enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m6i.8xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs and 16 physical cores powered by an Intel Xeon 8375C processor at 3.5 GHz. It includes 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory, a baseline network bandwidth of 12 Gbps, and no local storage or GPU. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers average performance across standard benchmarks, including a PassMark CPU score of 36442.6 and a multi-core Geekbench score of 13862.0. While it shows strong text generation speeds of 302.4 tokens/sec for small 135M language models, performance drops to a poor 2.25 tokens/sec for large 70B models. This resource profile makes the instance suitable for balanced workloads such as web serving, software compilation, and database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      1.8Score
      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.
