      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An 8-vCPU compute-focused instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, top-tier single-core performance, and advanced matrix extension support.

      Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform c4-standard-8 is an x86_64 compute-optimized instance featuring 8 vCPUs and 30 GB of RAM, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8581C processor at 2.3 GHz. It contains 4 physical cores with hyper-threading, a 260 MB L3 cache, and lacks local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmarks highlight top-tier single-core performance, with Geekbench single-core and text processing scores in the top 10%, alongside strong single-threaded compression speeds. However, multi-core operations and memory bandwidth sit in the average tier, and text generation for 7B LLM models is weak at 7.18 tokens/sec. Supported by AVX-512 and AMX instruction sets, this instance is well-suited for web serving, software compilation, text processing, and moderate database workloads where local storage is not required.

      Workload Profiles

      0.948Score
      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.
