      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A cost-effective virtual server combining twelve shared AMD EPYC cores, fast NVMe storage, and strong single-core performance for diverse workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetCompute Optimized

      Hetzner Cloud cpx52 is an x86_64 virtual server configured with 12 shared AMD EPYC vCPUs, 23.0 GB of RAM, and 480 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating under the QEMU hypervisor, this instance delivers strong single-core performance, as evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 2075.0 and a stress-ng single-core score of 3041.68. Large-block memory bandwidth is also highly efficient, reaching 220.5 GB/sec for reads. However, its shared CPU allocation results in average multi-core benchmark performance, making it a cost-effective choice for workloads that experience bursty or moderate multi-threaded demands. The processor supports AVX-512 and cryptographic acceleration, enhancing its suitability for tasks like software compilation, web serving, and small-scale machine learning inference.

      Workload Profiles

      1.2Score
      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.
