Server Description
An ARM-powered, memory-optimized instance delivering high-bandwidth memory performance and dedicated physical cores for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.
Amazon Web Services r8gn.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated physical cores powered by the 2.8 GHz AWS Graviton ARMv9 Neoverse-V2 processor. Built on the Nitro hypervisor, it provides 64.0 GB of RAM, establishing an 8.0 GB per core memory-to-vCPU ratio. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs, utilizing a 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth for external connectivity. Benchmark data highlights top-tier memory performance, with the Passmark memory score ranking in the top 10% and strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression speeds. Conversely, encryption and medium-model LLM prompt processing represent performance trade-offs, scoring in the lower percentiles. This profile makes the r8gn.2xlarge highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads, including Redis caching, database operations, and text processing, where high memory bandwidth and dedicated ARM cores offer qualitative resource efficiency.
