      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly virtual server with shared CPU resources and NVMe storage, optimized for entry-level hosting and development environments.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      The Hetzner Cloud cx23 is an entry-level virtual server configured with 2 shared Intel Xeon vCPUs running at 2.0 GHz, 4.0 GB of RAM, and 40 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the QEMU hypervisor with an x86_64 architecture, this instance is designed for budget-conscious, low-intensity applications. Benchmark data indicates limited performance, with CPU, memory bandwidth, and database operations scoring in the bottom 10% to 25% of tested servers. The shared CPU model and low memory allocation make it highly cost-effective for basic tasks but unsuitable for demanding workloads. It is best utilized for lightweight web serving, development environments, and simple background processes.

      Workload Profiles

      0.146Score
      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.
