    Server Description

    An ARM-powered, memory-optimized instance featuring high memory density and local NVMe storage for database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Amazon Web Services x2gd.2xlarge is an ARM64 memory-optimized instance powered by an 8-core AWS Graviton Neoverse-N1 processor running at 2.5 GHz. It features 128.0 GB of memory, yielding a high 16.0 GB per vCPU ratio, and includes a 475 GB local NVMe SSD instance store volume alongside a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. While single-core performance and cryptographic speeds are relatively weak, as shown by a Geekbench single-core score of 970.0, the instance delivers solid multi-core and memory-bound performance. It achieves 9.33 million operations per second in Redis SET benchmarks and shows stable database operation capabilities. This hardware configuration provides a cost-effective, high-density memory profile with local storage, making it well-suited for memory-intensive applications, caching layers, and database workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.57Score
    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.
