CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A budget-friendly general-purpose server offering shared Intel Xeon processing and balanced memory for non-critical multi-threaded workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.e-c1m4.2xlarge is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual server featuring 8 vCPUs and 8 physical cores on a shared Intel Xeon processor clocked at 2.5 GHz. It is configured with 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, but lacks local storage and GPU acceleration. Network performance is limited to a 1 Gbps baseline. Benchmarks reveal a performance tradeoff: single-core CPU execution and database operations are weak, while multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and static web serving throughput reach average tiers. Due to its shared CPU allocation and moderate performance profile, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for non-critical workloads. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, multi-threaded utility processing, and static web serving.
