CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A memory-dense, shared-CPU instance offering balanced multi-core performance and high RAM capacity for database and multi-threaded workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.e4.4xlarge is an x86_64 server instance utilizing an Intel Xeon E5-2682 v4 processor at 2.5 GHz. It provides 16 vCPUs across 8 physical cores with a shared CPU allocation, paired with 128.0 GB of RAM and a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. The instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmarks show a significant performance disparity: single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression tasks rank in the bottom 10% to 25%, whereas multi-core CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations achieve average ratings in the middle 50%. Qualitatively, the server offers high memory density relative to its processing power. It is best suited for memory-intensive, multi-threaded workloads such as database operations, static web serving, and small-scale model inference, rather than compute-heavy or single-threaded applications.
