      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring high-speed DDR5 memory and advanced Intel matrix extensions for data-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services r8i-flex.8xlarge is an x86_64 memory-optimized instance featuring 32 vCPUs (16 physical cores) powered by an Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor running at 3.9 GHz. It is equipped with 256.0 GB of high-speed 7 GHz DDR5 memory, a 480 MB L3 cache, and a baseline network bandwidth of 8 Gbps, with no local storage or GPUs. Benchmarks show strong performance in text processing, data compression, and small-to-medium LLM inference, aided by Intel AMX and AVX-512 instructions. The instance delivers a cost-efficient profile for memory-intensive workloads, making it well-suited for database operations, Redis caching layers, software compilation, and enterprise web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      2.72Score
      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.
