      Server Description

      A burstable, budget-friendly virtual server with balanced memory and compute resources for workloads with variable CPU utilization.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services t3.xlarge is a burstable general-purpose instance built on the AWS Nitro System. It features an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8259CL processor with 4 vCPUs, 2 physical cores, and 16.0 GB of DDR4 memory. Lacking local storage and dedicated GPUs, it relies on network-attached resources and provides a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Benchmark results, including a Geekbench single-core score of 910.0 and multi-core score of 1988.0, place its performance in the lower tiers, reflecting its burstable CPU allocation. This resource profile makes the t3.xlarge a qualitatively cost-effective option for workloads with variable CPU demands. It is best suited for low-traffic web serving, development environments, and small database operations where sustained maximum CPU utilization is not required.

      Workload Profiles

      0.199Score
      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.
