Aerospike has tested I4i instances based on Intel Xeon Scalable 3rd Generation processors and found them to be an attractive alternative to I3/I3en instances for many workloads, particularly those with high storage and CPU requirements. I4i instances offer greater turbo performance and more DRAM than I3 and I3n instances, while supporting storage-dense configurations of up to 30TB. Aerospike has compared the performance of I4i.32xlarge against i3en.24xlarge instances in various tests, including benchmarking using Aerospike's Certification Test program and testing 3-node clusters with client instances running the Aerospike Java Benchmark tool. The results show that I4i instances achieved higher single-SSD throughput, improved linearity of SSD performance, and lower latency compared to i3en instances. This suggests that I4i is a suitable choice for applications requiring high CPU cores or DRAM, while supporting high-density SSD storage and network bandwidth.
