      Server Description

      A bare-metal server featuring 384 vCPUs and 1.5 TB of DDR5 memory, optimized for highly parallelized enterprise workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services m8i.metal-96xl is a bare-metal, general-purpose server featuring 384 vCPUs and 192 physical cores powered by Intel Xeon 6975P-C processors running at 3.9 GHz. It includes 1536.0 GB of DDR5 memory at 7 GHz and a 100 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, with no local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks show top-tier multi-core CPU capabilities, high memory bandwidth, and exceptional database and Redis throughput. However, single-core performance and LLM text generation speeds are moderate to poor. This server is highly suited for highly parallelized workloads, large-scale database operations, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving, offering high resource density for enterprise-scale deployments. It supports advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512 and Intel AMX for accelerated matrix and vector operations.

      Workload Profiles

      15Score
      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.
