    Server Description

    An ARM64 memory-optimized instance featuring 512 GB RAM and local NVMe storage for high-density database and caching workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Amazon Web Services x2gd.8xlarge is a memory-optimized server featuring 32 dedicated ARM64 cores powered by AWS Graviton2 (Neoverse-N1) processors running at 2.5 GHz. It is configured with 512.0 GB of system memory, providing a high 16.0 GB of RAM per core, and includes 1900 GB of local NVMe SSD storage alongside a 12 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, the instance delivers average multi-core performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 48566.12 and a Redis SET performance of 36.44 million operations per second. However, single-core performance is weak, as evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 942.0. This hardware profile is highly suited for memory-intensive workloads, database operations, and caching layers, offering a resource-dense and cost-efficient configuration for applications requiring substantial memory capacity and local NVMe storage without demanding top-tier single-threaded CPU performance.

    Workload Profiles

    1.5Score
    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.
