      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel processors, advanced matrix extensions, and a 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-standard-8 is a general-purpose virtual machine instance configured with 8 vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel x86_64 processor with 4 physical cores and a dedicated CPU allocation, it features a 260 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and AMX. The instance does not include local storage or GPUs. Benchmark results place the server in the average tier for most compute and memory tasks, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1770.0 and multi-core score of 6838.0. It demonstrates strong text processing capabilities but shows weaker performance in multi-threaded decompression and large-block memory operations. The n4-standard-8 is suited for general-purpose workloads, including web serving, software compilation, and moderate database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.72Score
      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.
