      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A compute-optimized x86_64 instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing, top-tier single-core performance, and a balanced two-gigabytes-per-vCPU memory configuration.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-highcpu-8 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 16 GB of RAM, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz. With 4 physical cores and 2 threads per core, the instance delivers strong single-core performance, scoring in the top 10% in Geekbench single-core and text processing benchmarks. Single-threaded compression tasks also perform in the top 25% tier. However, multi-core benchmarks and memory bandwidth fall into the average range, and the 2.0 GB of RAM per vCPU limits memory-intensive applications. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. It is best suited for compute-bound workloads like software compilation, text processing, single-threaded data compression, and static web serving, offering a cost-efficient profile for tasks prioritizing raw single-thread CPU execution over high memory capacity.

      Workload Profiles

      0.943Score
      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.
