      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density bare-metal platform featuring massive DDR5 memory and multi-core Intel Xeon processors for parallelized, memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedCompute Optimized

      Amazon Web Services x8i.metal-48xl is a memory-optimized bare-metal server featuring 192 vCPUs, 96 physical Intel Xeon 6975P-C cores, and 3072.0 GB of DDR5 memory. Operating at 3.9 GHz, the processor includes a 480 MB L3 cache and supports AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets. The server provides a 75 Gbps baseline network bandwidth but lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Benchmarks show top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory read bandwidth, and rapid LLM prompt processing, though single-core performance remains average. This hardware profile is highly cost-efficient for massive parallel processing and memory-intensive workloads, making it ideal for in-memory databases, large-scale software compilation, and multi-threaded enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      9.12Score
      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.
