    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance combining dedicated Graviton processors with high-speed local NVMe storage for memory-intensive and database workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m8gd.12xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 48 dedicated ARM64 physical cores powered by AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processors running at 2.8 GHz. It is equipped with 192.0 GB of system memory, delivering a balanced 4.0 GB per core, and includes 2850 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance provides 22 Gbps of baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark results highlight top-tier performance in memory bandwidth, software compilation, static web serving, and database operations, alongside strong multi-core processing capabilities. The combination of dedicated ARMv9 cores and high-speed local NVMe storage makes this instance highly cost-efficient for resource-dense workloads. It is optimized for demanding general-purpose applications, including database management, Redis caching, software development pipelines, and high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    3.99Score
    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.
