CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A compute-optimized x86_64 instance featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and top-tier single-core performance for compute-bound workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.c8ae.xlarge is an x86_64 compute-optimized server instance featuring 4 dedicated AMD EPYC 9T34 CPU cores running at 3.4 GHz, paired with 8.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage or GPUs, and delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 4 Gbps. Performance benchmarks show top-tier single-core CPU capabilities, while multi-core performance and large-block memory bandwidth remain average. Conversely, the instance exhibits weaker performance in database operations, Redis SET operations, and static web serving throughput. Given its 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and dedicated CPU allocation, the ecs.c8ae.xlarge is qualitatively cost-efficient for compute-intensive tasks, making it well-suited for single-threaded applications, batch processing, and moderate computational workloads that do not demand high memory density or local storage.
