CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A budget-friendly, compute-optimized instance with dedicated Intel Xeon cores and a balanced resource profile for lightweight workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.sn1.large is a compute-optimized virtual server featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs on an Intel Xeon 8269CY processor running at 2.5 GHz, paired with 8.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, this x86_64 instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, relying on a 1 Gbps baseline network bandwidth. Benchmark evaluations indicate modest performance, with stress-ng and Geekbench scores consistently placing the instance in the bottom 10% to 25% of tested hardware. Memory bandwidth is limited, particularly for large blocks, which registers at 20.95 GB/sec. Given these performance characteristics and the 2.0 GB per core memory density, the ecs.sn1.large is best suited for lightweight compute workloads, basic web serving, and non-intensive development tasks where dedicated CPU allocation is required but high throughput is not critical.
