      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An efficient shared-core virtual server combining strong single-core performance with generous NVMe storage for budget-conscious development and web hosting.

      Burstable & BudgetCompute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Hetzner Cloud cpx42 is an x86_64 virtual server featuring 8 AMD EPYC vCPUs with a shared CPU allocation and a 2.0 GHz clock speed. It is configured with 16.0 GB of RAM and 320 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, operating under the QEMU hypervisor. The server exhibits strong single-core CPU performance and high large-block memory bandwidth, placing in the top 25% of benchmarked systems, while multi-core metrics and database operations remain in the average tier. Because it utilizes a shared CPU model, it offers excellent qualitative cost efficiency for resource-dense workloads, though it presents a tradeoff in performance consistency under sustained multi-core loads. The cpx42 is best suited for general-purpose workloads, lightweight web serving, software compilation, and development environments that require fast local storage but do not demand dedicated CPU cores.

      Workload Profiles

      0.87Score
      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.
