      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly, dedicated dual-core Intel Xeon instance designed for lightweight utility workloads, basic web serving, and development environments.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Alibaba Cloud ecs.u1-c1m2.large is an entry-level x86_64 server instance featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs powered by a 2.5 GHz Intel Xeon processor and 4.0 GB of RAM. Running on the KVM hypervisor, this instance does not include local storage or GPU hardware, and it provides a baseline network bandwidth of 1 Gbps. Benchmark results show average single-core CPU performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1358.0, but poor multi-core and memory bandwidth capabilities. Due to these resource constraints, the instance is highly cost-efficient for lightweight, non-intensive workloads. It is recommended for basic web serving, single-threaded background tasks, lightweight utility scripts, and development or testing environments that do not demand high memory or parallel processing power.
