Server Description
An ARM64 memory-optimized instance offering high memory-to-core density for lightweight database operations and memory-bound workloads.
Amazon Web Services r8gb.large is a memory-optimized instance featuring 2 dedicated physical cores on the 2.8 GHz ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 architecture. It provides 16.0 GB of RAM, resulting in an 8.0 GB per core allocation, and operates on the Nitro hypervisor with a 4 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core CPU and large-block memory read capabilities, though multi-core processing and memory write speeds are relatively weak. Qualitatively, the r8gb.large offers a cost-effective entry point for memory-intensive applications that do not require heavy parallel compute. It is suited for workloads such as database operations, caching, and single-threaded data processing.
