      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores, exceptional memory bandwidth, and balanced compute resources for standard workloads.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m8g.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 8 dedicated ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 cores running at 2.8 GHz and 32.0 GB of system memory. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this arm64 instance lacks local storage and dedicated GPU hardware but delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps. Performance benchmarks indicate top-tier memory capabilities, with a PassMark memory score in the top 10% and cached read bandwidth of 925.03 GB/sec. Conversely, cryptographic execution is weak, scoring in the bottom 25% on encryption tests, and medium-sized LLM prompt processing is slow. The instance provides a cost-efficient, balanced resource profile for workloads such as static web serving, software compilation, and database operations that do not require local NVMe storage.

      Workload Profiles

      1.07Score
      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.
