CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A dedicated 48-vCPU compute-optimized instance featuring a one-to-one gigabyte-to-core ratio for CPU-heavy processing workloads without local storage overhead.
Compute Optimized
Google Cloud Platform n2-highcpu-48 is an x86_64 compute-optimized server featuring 48 vCPUs and 24 physical cores powered by a dedicated 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon processor. It is equipped with 48.0 GB of RAM, providing a 1.0 GB per vCPU ratio, and contains no bundled local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data indicates average multi-core performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 44617.16 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 10859.0. The server demonstrates strong capabilities in software compilation and static web serving, achieving a throughput of 29.33 GB/sec. However, its low memory-to-CPU ratio presents a tradeoff for memory-intensive tasks, as evidenced by a weak text generation speed of 53.69 tokens/sec on small LLM models. This configuration is recommended for compute-heavy workloads such as multi-threaded decompression, software building, and web serving.
