CPU and System Topology
Server Description
An Arm-based general-purpose instance featuring dedicated vCPUs and balanced memory configuration for lightweight, single-threaded workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8y.large is a general-purpose instance powered by a 2.75 GHz Arm-based Alibaba Yitian YiTian710 processor. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs, 8.0 GB of RAM, and a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. Running on the KVM hypervisor, the instance delivers average single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression speeds. However, multi-core processing, memory bandwidth, and cryptographic operations fall into the weak to poor benchmark categories. The custom Yitian architecture provides a qualitatively cost-efficient option for workloads that do not demand high parallel processing power or x86 compatibility. This instance is suitable for lightweight general-purpose applications, basic web serving, and single-threaded tasks.
