Server Description
An x86_64 memory-optimized instance featuring 64 GB of RAM and 8 vCPUs for memory-intensive workloads and caching applications.
Amazon Web Services r5b.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 64.0 GB of DDR4 RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 3.1 GHz on the Nitro hypervisor, this x86_64 instance provides a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. It does not include local storage or GPU accelerators, and it operates with a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth capabilities, contrasted with weaker single-core processing and database operation scores. The instance is suited for memory-intensive workloads, caching layers, and moderate database tasks where memory capacity is prioritized over raw compute speed.
