      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and balanced memory allocation for standard utility workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n1-standard-8 is an x86_64 general-purpose server from the N1 family, equipped with 8 dedicated Intel Xeon vCPUs (4 physical cores with hyper-threading) running at 2.3 GHz and 30 GB of RAM. It contains no local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks position this instance primarily in the lower tiers, with single-core and multi-core CPU performance, database operations, and static web serving throughput falling into the bottom 25%. However, it maintains average performance in large-block memory bandwidth and small-model LLM text generation. Given its older hardware profile, the n1-standard-8 is best suited for moderate, non-intensive workloads such as basic web serving, development environments, and general-purpose utility tasks where dedicated CPU allocation is required but peak performance is not critical.

      Workload Profiles

      0.357Score
      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.
