      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A storage-focused server combining dedicated multi-core processing with substantial local SSD capacity for data-intensive workloads.

      Storage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.i2gne.8xlarge is a storage-focused instance featuring 32 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel Xeon 8163 processor, 128.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 3839 GB local SSD. Operating on a KVM hypervisor with a 10 Gbps baseline network bandwidth, this x86_64 server is designed for data-intensive applications. Performance benchmarks indicate a distinct tradeoff: single-core performance is weak, falling in the bottom 25% for stress-ng and Geekbench, whereas multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics consistently rank in the average tier. This makes the instance qualitatively cost-efficient for multi-threaded workloads that benefit from high local storage capacity. It is best suited for database operations, static web serving, and multi-threaded data processing, while being less optimal for single-threaded tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.973Score
      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.
