Hardware Memory The amount of RAM to be provisioned for database servers can vary greatly depending on the size of the database and the specific requirements of the company. By caching hot datasets, indexes, and ongoing changes, InnoDB can provide faster response times and utilize disk IO in a much more optimal way.

For most high-end processors these values have remained in the range of 75% to 85% of the peak DRAM bandwidth of the system over the past 15-20 years — an amazing accomplishment given the increase in core count (with its associated cache coherence issues), number of DRAM channels, and ever-increasing pipelining of the DRAMs themselves.
