      Server Description

      A dedicated dual-core AMD EPYC instance delivering strong single-threaded performance and DDR5 memory for lightweight general-purpose workloads.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m7a.large is a general-purpose instance featuring an AMD EPYC 9R14 processor with 2 dedicated physical cores and 2 vCPUs running at 3.7 GHz. It is equipped with 8.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 5 GHz, but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers strong single-core performance, as evidenced by high stress-ng and Geekbench single-core benchmark results. However, its multi-core scaling and memory read bandwidth are relatively weak. This hardware profile makes the m7a.large qualitatively cost-effective for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, basic text processing, and small-scale application hosting, while it remains constrained for memory-intensive databases or parallelized computing tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.263Score
      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.
