      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced x86_64 virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel processors and advanced matrix extensions for general-purpose enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Google Cloud Platform n4-standard-8 is a general-purpose virtual machine configured with 8 vCPUs and 32 GB of RAM on an Intel x86_64 architecture. Featuring 4 physical cores with hyper-threading and dedicated CPU allocation, the processor includes a 260 MB L3 cache and supports Intel AMX and AVX-512 instructions. The instance does not bundle local storage or GPUs. Performance benchmarks show average results across most compute and memory tests, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6838.0 and a static web serving throughput of 12.95 GB/sec. However, memory performance is relatively weak in large-block uncached operations, and medium-sized LLM text generation is slow. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for balanced workloads, making it suitable for general-purpose applications, static 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.
