      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated x86 server combining balanced compute and memory with high-capacity local SSD storage for data-intensive workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2g.8xlarge is an x86_64 server featuring 32 dedicated Intel Xeon 8163 vCPUs running at 2.5 GHz, 128.0 GB of RAM, and 3839 GB of local SSD storage. It operates on a KVM hypervisor with a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps. Performance benchmarks reveal a distinct tradeoff: single-core CPU and memory scores are weak, falling in the bottom 25%, while multi-core CPU performance, database operations, and static web serving throughput consistently rank in the average tier. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and high-capacity local storage, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for storage-heavy workloads that do not require high single-threaded compute power. It is suitable for database hosting, Redis key-value stores, and multi-threaded data processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.947Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
