CPU and System Topology
Server Description
An entry-level, budget-friendly compute instance with dedicated vCPUs and minimal memory for lightweight utility workloads and basic web serving.
Google Cloud Platform n1-highcpu-2 is an entry-level, compute-focused virtual machine featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs and 2.0 GB of RAM on an Intel Xeon x86_64 platform. Running at 2.3 GHz, the single physical core utilizes hyper-threading but lacks bundled local storage or GPU acceleration. Benchmark results place this instance in the lower percentiles, with a stress-ng single-core score of 1086.39 and multi-core score of 1408.88. Memory bandwidth is constrained, reaching 13.22 GB/sec for large block reads. Given these hardware limitations, the server is best suited for low-resource, budget-conscious workloads. It is appropriate for basic web serving, lightweight background processes, and simple development tasks that do not require significant memory or high-performance multi-core processing.
