      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 virtual server featuring shared AMD EPYC processors and NVMe storage for balanced development and web serving workloads.

      Compute OptimizedBurstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Hetzner Cloud cx43 is an x86_64 virtual server configured with 8 shared AMD EPYC vCPUs running at 2.0 GHz, 16.0 GB of RAM, and 160 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the QEMU hypervisor, this instance delivers strong single-core CPU performance, scoring 2548.38 in stress-ng tests, while maintaining average multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics. The shared CPU allocation introduces potential resource contention, making it less optimal for sustained high-load multi-threaded tasks, as reflected in its average Geekbench multi-core score of 7324.0. However, with solid database operations and static web serving throughput, the cx43 is a cost-efficient option for development environments, software compilation, and moderate web serving workloads that do not require dedicated CPU resources or public IPv4 addresses.

      Workload Profiles

      0.862Score
      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.
