CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual server featuring a bundled 959 GB local SSD and dedicated Intel Xeon processors for storage-heavy workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.i3.xlarge is a memory-optimized and storage-focused virtual machine instance featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor clocked at 2.5 GHz. It is equipped with 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU, and includes a bundled 959 GB local SSD alongside a 2 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. While the CPU supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512, benchmark data indicates that raw compute and memory bandwidth performance generally fall into the lower 25% tier, though Geekbench single-core and Passmark memory scores achieve average rankings. This hardware profile offers a cost-efficient option for workloads requiring significant local storage and memory capacity without demanding high-intensity CPU throughput. It is well-suited for moderate database hosting, caching layers, and storage-heavy general-purpose applications.
