CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A compute-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and a balanced profile for single-threaded tasks and lightweight web serving.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.c7.xlarge is a compute-optimized instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8369B processor at 2.7 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. Operating under the KVM hypervisor, this instance provides a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, 3 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, and no local storage or GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core CPU execution, static web serving throughput of 6.28 GB/sec, and capable small-model LLM inference. However, it exhibits weaker multi-core scaling and limited memory bandwidth. This resource profile makes the ecs.c7.xlarge a cost-efficient option for single-threaded applications, lightweight web servers, and basic cryptographic processing, while representing a clear tradeoff for memory-intensive database operations.
