CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A dedicated compute-optimized instance featuring advanced Intel Xeon matrix extensions for high-performance single-core and text processing workloads.
The Google Cloud Platform c4-highcpu-16 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz. With 8 physical cores and a 260 MB L3 cache, this instance is designed for CPU-intensive tasks. It lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks highlight top-tier single-core execution and text processing, alongside strong single-threaded compression capabilities. The processor supports advanced vector and matrix extensions (AVX-512 and AMX), making it highly capable for mathematical and machine learning inference workloads. With a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, it offers a cost-effective profile for compute-heavy, memory-light applications such as text processing, software compilation, and web serving.
