      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An efficient arm64 general-purpose server featuring dedicated Graviton cores and balanced memory for web serving and database workloads.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m8g.xlarge is a general-purpose server powered by an ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 AWS Graviton processor. It features 4 dedicated arm64 physical cores running at 2.8 GHz, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark results show average performance across standard compute tasks, including Geekbench and stress-ng tests, with a notable strength in single-threaded bzip3 decompression. However, it exhibits lower performance in cryptographic operations and LLM inference. The balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio makes it a cost-efficient choice for general-purpose workloads such as static web serving, Redis database operations, software compilation, and text processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.597Score
      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.
