    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated multi-core virtual server with balanced memory and local SSD storage for steady-state general-purpose workloads.

    General Purpose

    The OVHcloud b2-30 is a general-purpose virtual server featuring 8 dedicated Intel Haswell physical cores running at 2.0 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with 30.0 GB of RAM (3.75 GB per core) and 200 GB of local SSD storage, running on a KVM hypervisor. Benchmarks reveal that while single-core performance and uncached memory write speeds are weak to poor, multi-core execution and cached memory bandwidth reach average tiers. This makes the instance a cost-effective choice for sustained, multi-threaded workloads that do not require cutting-edge single-thread speeds. It is best suited for static web serving, Redis operations, software compilation, and general-purpose multi-threaded applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.496Score
    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.
