CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A high-density, x86_64 server featuring 88 dedicated vCPUs and advanced matrix extensions for parallelized enterprise workloads and CPU-based inference.
Google Cloud Platform c3-standard-88 is an x86_64 architecture server instance configured with 88 vCPUs across 44 physical Intel Xeon 8481C cores and 352.0 GB of dedicated RAM. Operating at 2.7 GHz, the processor supports advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks indicate strong multi-core CPU performance, placing in the top 25% for multi-core stress-ng and PassMark tests, alongside top 10% performance in image processing. Memory bandwidth is highly efficient, scoring in the top 25% for both cached and uncached read/write operations. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, presenting a tradeoff for storage-heavy or GPU-dependent tasks. It is qualitatively cost-efficient for highly parallelized workloads, making it suitable for software compilation, static web serving, database operations, and CPU-based machine learning inference.
