      Server Description

      An arm64 memory-optimized instance delivering high-density memory bandwidth and strong multi-core performance for database and caching workloads.

      Memory Optimized

      Amazon Web Services r8g.12xlarge is an arm64 memory-optimized instance powered by a 48-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 384.0 GB of RAM, yielding a high 8.0 GB per core ratio, and operates on the Nitro hypervisor with 22 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The instance does not include local storage or GPUs. Benchmark results show top-tier memory performance, with large-block read bandwidth at 404.36 GB/sec and write bandwidth at 201.11 GB/sec, alongside a strong Geekbench multi-core score of 23531.0. While single-core performance is moderate, its high memory density and exceptional database operations throughput make it highly efficient for memory-bound applications. The r8g.12xlarge is best suited for large-scale databases, in-memory caching, and high-throughput web serving workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      3.95Score
      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.
