    Server Description

    A high-density memory-optimized instance featuring nearly four terabytes of RAM and local NVMe storage for massive in-memory workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services x1e.32xlarge is a memory-intensive server designed for large-scale, memory-bound enterprise workloads. Powered by an Intel Xeon E7-8880 v3 processor with 128 vCPUs and 64 physical cores, it features an extraordinary 3904.0 GB of RAM alongside 3840 GB of local NVMe SSD storage and 25 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Operating on the x86_64 architecture under a Xen hypervisor, its performance profile is characterized by strong memory bandwidth in the top 25% (reaching 3825.21 GB/sec for cached reads) and average multi-core processing capabilities, despite weak single-core benchmark results. This high resource density makes it highly suitable for in-memory databases, large-scale caching, and data-intensive enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    2.4Score
    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.
