      Server Description

      An arm64 general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Graviton cores, high memory bandwidth, and optimized network performance for balanced workloads.

      General Purpose

      Amazon Web Services m8gn.2xlarge is an arm64 general-purpose instance powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it features 32.0 GB of system memory, a baseline network bandwidth of 25 Gbps, and no local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark results show strong single-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 1895.0 and a top-tier PassMark memory score of 3199.23. However, the instance exhibits tradeoffs in cryptographic tasks, scoring weakly on the PassMark CPU encryption test, and shows poor prompt processing speeds for medium-sized LLM models. With its balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and high memory bandwidth, the m8gn.2xlarge offers qualitative cost efficiency for ARM-native deployments. It is suited for general-purpose applications, static web serving, software compilation, and database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.929Score
      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.
