    Server Description

    A general-purpose instance combining strong single-core performance and high-speed DDR5 memory with local NVMe SSD storage for balanced workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services m8id.xlarge is a general-purpose instance featuring an Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor with 4 vCPUs, 2 physical cores, and a 3.9 GHz clock speed. It is configured with 16.0 GB of DDR5 RAM and a 237 GB local NVMe SSD instance store, operating on the Nitro hypervisor with a 2 Gbps baseline network. Benchmarks indicate strong single-core capabilities, particularly in text processing and single-threaded compression, though multi-core performance and database operations are relatively weak. The CPU supports advanced instruction sets like Intel AMX and AVX-512, enabling efficient vector operations. Qualitatively, this instance provides a balanced, cost-effective option for workloads requiring dedicated compute and fast local storage. It is well-suited for single-threaded applications, text processing, light web serving, and software compilation.

    Workload Profiles

    0.539Score
    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.
