    Server Description

    A general-purpose x86_64 instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, high-speed DDR5 memory, and integrated local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m8id.2xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor running at 3.9 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of DDR5 memory and a bundled 474 GB NVMe SSD. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, this x86_64 server delivers strong single-threaded performance, as demonstrated by top-tier Geekbench text processing and strong gzip compression benchmarks. While multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are average, the processor supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and fast local storage, the instance is well-suited for database operations, software compilation, static web serving, and small-scale language model inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.963Score
    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.
