      Server Description

      An ARM64 memory-optimized instance delivering high memory density per core for caching and database workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services x8g.xlarge is a memory-optimized server featuring 4 dedicated ARM64 physical cores powered by AWS Graviton Neoverse-V2 processors at 2.8 GHz. It is equipped with 64.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB per core, but lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs. Operating on the Nitro hypervisor, it delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Benchmark results show strong memory performance and single-threaded compression speeds, both ranking in the top 25%. However, cryptographic and extended instruction performance are weaker, with the Passmark encryption test falling in the bottom 10%. This server is designed for memory-intensive applications, database operations, and caching layers that benefit from high memory density without requiring heavy computational or cryptographic acceleration.

      Workload Profiles

      0.603Score
      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.
