      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An arm64 virtual server with eight shared cores and local NVMe storage, optimized for cost-efficient multi-threaded workloads.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Hetzner Cloud cax31 is an arm64 virtual server featuring 8 shared vCPUs powered by Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 processors running at 2.0 GHz. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM and 160 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, operating under a QEMU hypervisor. Benchmark data shows average multi-core capabilities, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 5619.0 and static web serving throughput of 7.92 GB/sec, though single-core performance remains weak. The shared CPU allocation presents a tradeoff in performance consistency for sustained workloads, but the server offers a cost-efficient profile for parallelized tasks. It is suited for multi-threaded applications, software compilation, static web serving, and lightweight database operations.

      Workload Profiles

      0.48Score
      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.
