    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 memory-optimized configuration delivering 256 GB of RAM and local NVMe storage for memory-heavy enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    The Amazon Web Services x2iedn.2xlarge is an x86_64 memory-optimized instance running on the Nitro hypervisor. It is equipped with an Intel Xeon 8375C processor providing 8 vCPUs and 4 physical cores at 3.5 GHz, 256.0 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 237 GB local NVMe SSD. Designed for memory-intensive applications, it delivers 32.0 GB of RAM per core and a baseline network bandwidth of 5 Gbps. Benchmarks show average performance across standard compute, memory bandwidth, and database operations, including 7.93 million Redis SET operations per second. However, tradeoffs exist in multi-threaded decompression and medium-sized LLM inference prompt processing, which perform below average. This configuration is best suited for in-memory databases, caching layers, and memory-heavy enterprise workloads where high memory density is required relative to compute resources.

    Workload Profiles

    0.604Score
    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.
