Server Description
An arm64 memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Graviton cores and high-bandwidth memory for demanding database and caching workloads.
Amazon Web Services r8g.4xlarge is a memory-optimized server instance powered by an arm64 AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processor. It features 16 dedicated physical cores (16 vCPUs) running at 2.8 GHz, paired with 128.0 GB of system memory, yielding a high 8.0 GB per core ratio. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance lacks local storage and provides an 8 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark data indicates top-tier memory performance, with a Passmark memory score in the top 10% and strong uncached memory read/write bandwidth. Compute and database performance are also strong, though LLM inference for large models is weak. This hardware profile makes the r8g.4xlarge highly cost-efficient for memory-dense workloads. It is best suited for in-memory databases, caching layers, data processing, and memory-bound enterprise applications.
