    Server Description

    A memory-intensive virtual server featuring massive RAM capacity and local NVMe storage for enterprise database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services x1.16xlarge is a memory-optimized instance designed for memory-intensive workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon E7-8880 v3 processor on the x86_64 architecture, it delivers 64 vCPUs, 976.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 1920 GB NVMe SSD under the Xen hypervisor. While single-core CPU benchmarks and memory scores are relatively weak, multi-core performance and memory bandwidth remain average. This hardware profile makes the instance highly suitable for large in-memory databases, caching systems, and enterprise applications requiring massive memory capacity without needing high single-threaded compute performance.
