      Server Description

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

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m7a.medium is a general-purpose instance powered by a dedicated 3.7 GHz AMD EPYC 9R14 processor with x86_64 architecture. It features 1 vCPU, 1 physical core, and 4.0 GB of high-speed DDR5 memory, establishing a balanced 1:4 resource ratio. Running on the Nitro hypervisor, this instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, and has a baseline network bandwidth of 0 Gbps. Performance benchmarks reveal strong single-core execution, ranking in the top 25% for stress-ng and Geekbench single-core tests. Conversely, multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are weak to poor due to the single-vCPU constraint. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for dedicated, single-threaded workloads, lightweight text processing, and basic web serving, but is not recommended for multi-threaded compilation, database operations, or memory-intensive applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.156Score
      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.
