CPU and System Topology
Server Description
An arm64-powered instance featuring dedicated physical cores and balanced memory configuration for standard web serving and database workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.g8y.xlarge is an arm64-based general-purpose instance featuring 4 dedicated physical cores of the Alibaba YiTian710 processor running at 2.75 GHz. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a balanced 4.0 GB per core, but lacks local storage and GPU acceleration. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, the instance delivers a baseline network bandwidth of 3 Gbps. Benchmark data shows average performance in standard compute, Redis SET operations, and static web serving. However, it exhibits weaknesses in large-block memory write bandwidth and encryption tasks, with the Passmark encryption test scoring in the bottom 10%. This instance is best suited for general-purpose arm64 workloads, including web serving and database operations, while being less optimal for cryptography-heavy applications or intensive LLM inference.
