      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A single-core ARM64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Graviton processing for lightweight workloads and basic development environments.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m8g.medium is a general-purpose, ARM64-based server instance powered by a single-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 4.0 GB of memory, a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps, and operates on the Nitro hypervisor without local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data shows average single-core CPU performance and strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression, though multi-core and memory bandwidth results are poor due to the single-vCPU limitation. This instance offers a cost-efficient entry point for ARM64 architecture development but presents clear tradeoffs in parallel processing and memory throughput. It is best suited for lightweight microservices, single-threaded applications, and basic development or testing environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.18Score
      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.
