CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A high-density, multi-core compute instance optimized for parallel processing, database operations, and high-bandwidth memory workloads without local storage.
Google Cloud Platform n2-highcpu-80 is an x86_64 compute-focused server instance featuring 80 dedicated vCPUs and 80.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon processor running at 2.8 GHz across 40 physical cores, this instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. It delivers strong multi-core performance, as demonstrated by a stress-ng multi-core score of 75,231.71 and high memory bandwidth, though single-core performance and text generation speeds remain average to weak. The low 1 GB per vCPU memory ratio represents a clear tradeoff, making it less suitable for memory-intensive applications. Qualitatively, the instance provides high compute density and resource efficiency for parallel processing. It is best suited for multi-threaded workloads such as software compilation, database operations, Redis caching, and static web serving.
