      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An economical, shared-CPU virtual server with local NVMe storage, designed for lightweight development environments and basic utility workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Hetzner Cloud cx23 is an entry-level virtual server featuring 2 shared vCPUs on an Intel Xeon x86_64 processor clocked at 2.0 GHz. It is configured with 4.0 GB of RAM and 40 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, operating under the QEMU hypervisor. Due to its shared CPU allocation, benchmark results for compute and memory bandwidth consistently fall within the bottom 10% to 25% of tested instances, with Geekbench and stress-ng scores reflecting its low-tier performance profile. This server represents a highly cost-efficient option for workloads with minimal resource demands. It is best suited for basic static web serving, lightweight development environments, and small utility tasks where high-sustained compute performance is not required.

      Workload Profiles

      0.147Score
      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.
