      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated Intel Xeon server offering strong single-core performance and advanced matrix extensions for stateless general-purpose workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      The Google Cloud Platform c4n-standard-8 is an x86_64 general-purpose server featuring 8 vCPUs and 30 GB of RAM, powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8581C processor running at 2.3 GHz. Built on 4 physical cores with hyper-threading, it includes advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX for matrix operations. This instance does not bundle local storage or GPUs. Factual benchmark data highlights top-tier single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2256.0 and strong single-threaded compression speeds. While multi-core metrics and memory bandwidth align with mid-range averages, the server excels at small-model LLM text generation and text processing. It represents a resource-dense, cost-efficient option for stateless workloads, web serving, and single-threaded applications requiring dedicated CPU execution.

      Workload Profiles

      0.908Score
      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.
