    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and integrated high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-8-lssd is a general-purpose instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8481C processor running at 2.7 GHz, 32.0 GB of RAM, and 804 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. It delivers average performance across most benchmarks, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 6546.0 and 8.89 million operations per second on Redis SET tests. The instance features Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) and Cryptography acceleration. However, it exhibits weaker performance in multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and 7B LLM text generation. Qualitatively, the bundled high-speed local storage provides a resource-dense configuration for data-intensive applications. This server is suitable for database operations, caching layers, and general-purpose web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.682Score
    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.
