      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, advanced instruction sets, and a 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-8 is a general-purpose virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM, powered by a 2.7 GHz Intel Xeon 8481C processor. Built on the x86_64 architecture with 4 physical cores and hyper-threading, this instance does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks place the server consistently in the average tier, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1689.0 and a multi-core score of 6526.0. The processor supports advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512 and Intel AMX, facilitating efficient cryptography and vector operations. Memory performance is robust, delivering a cached read bandwidth of 544.66 GB/sec. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, the c3-standard-8 is well-suited for general-purpose workloads, including static web serving, Redis caching, database operations, and software compilation.

      Workload Profiles

      0.674Score
      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.
