      Server Description

      An ARM64 memory-optimized instance featuring dedicated physical cores and top-tier memory bandwidth for data-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

      The Amazon Web Services x8g.4xlarge is an ARM64 memory-optimized server powered by 16 dedicated AWS Neoverse-V2 physical cores running at 2.8 GHz. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it features 256.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB per core, alongside an 8 Gbps baseline network bandwidth and no local storage. Performance benchmarks highlight a top-tier memory subsystem, with Passmark memory scores in the top 10% and strong large-block memory read/write bandwidths in the top 25%. Database operations also demonstrate strong performance. Conversely, compute-heavy stress-ng benchmarks and LLM inference speeds are average to weak. Lacking a GPU, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive, non-accelerated workloads. It is highly suited for in-memory databases, caching layers, and large-scale data processing applications requiring predictable, dedicated CPU performance.

      Workload Profiles

      1.8Score
      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.
