    Server Description

    A memory-optimized instance featuring high-speed DDR5 RAM, dedicated Intel Xeon processing, and integrated NVMe SSD storage for database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    The Amazon Web Services r8id.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance running on the Nitro hypervisor. It features an 8-vCPU Intel Xeon 6975P-C processor with a 3.9 GHz clock speed, 4 physical cores, and a 480 MB L3 cache. The hardware configuration includes 64.0 GB of DDR5 memory running at 7 GHz and a bundled 474 GB NVMe SSD instance store. Benchmarks show strong single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2177.0 and top-tier text processing capabilities. Memory bandwidth reaches 641.02 GB/sec for cached small blocks. This instance is highly suited for memory-intensive databases, Redis key-value stores, and software compilation. However, it exhibits weaker performance in larger LLM text generation tasks, with the 7B model text generation speed measured at 8.73 tokens per second.

    Workload Profiles

    0.97Score
    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.
