    Server Description

    An ARM64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated physical cores, top-tier memory performance, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m8gd.4xlarge is a general-purpose instance powered by 16 dedicated ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 cores running at 2.8 GHz. Built on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, it features 64.0 GB of RAM and 950 GB of local NVMe SSD instance storage. The instance delivers strong memory performance, with its Passmark memory score ranking in the top 10% and large-block memory bandwidth in the top 25%. While single-core and multi-core CPU benchmarks generally align with average mid-tier performance, its multi-threaded decompression and database operations show strong results. Lacking a GPU, it is not optimized for heavy machine learning tasks, as evidenced by lower LLM prompt processing speeds. However, its balanced resource allocation and high-speed local storage make it highly cost-efficient for database hosting, web serving, and general-purpose enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    1.78Score
    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.
