      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      This low vCPU instance provides high memory density and advanced Intel instruction sets for lightweight workloads that prioritize memory capacity over raw compute power.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Google Cloud Platform n4-highmem-2 is an x86_64 server featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs from 1 physical Intel core and 16.0 GB of RAM. This configuration provides a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core, supported by a 260 MB L3 cache and advanced instruction sets like Intel AMX and AVX-512. The instance does not include bundled local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks show average single-core execution, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1640.0, but weak multi-core and memory bandwidth results, such as a stress-ng multi-core score of 1600.79. Qualitatively, this server offers a cost-effective entry point for memory-heavy workloads that do not demand high parallel processing power. It is best suited for lightweight memory-intensive applications, single-threaded tasks, basic text processing, and small-scale caching layers.
