CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A high-density, memory-optimized server featuring 144 dedicated vCPUs and advanced matrix extensions for demanding database and multi-threaded enterprise workloads.
Google Cloud Platform c4-highmem-144 is an x86_64 server instance powered by an Intel Xeon 6985P-C processor, delivering 144 dedicated vCPUs across 72 physical cores and 1116.0 GB of RAM. Lacking local storage and GPU accelerators, this instance focuses entirely on high-density memory and compute performance. It features a 504 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks show top-tier multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth, alongside exceptional database operations and LLM inference capabilities, though single-core performance is average. This profile makes the instance highly cost-efficient for memory-intensive, highly parallel workloads such as large-scale database hosting, Redis deployments, and multi-threaded software compilation.
