    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated sixteen-core x86_64 server with bundled SSD storage, offering balanced multi-core performance for general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    OVHcloud b2-60 is a general-purpose KVM-based server featuring 16 dedicated physical cores on an Intel Haswell x86_64 architecture running at 2.0 GHz. It is configured with 60.0 GB of RAM, a bundled 400 GB local SSD, and 1 Gbps network bandwidth. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core capabilities, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 9327.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 18774.29, though single-core performance and large-block memory write speeds are weak. The instance provides dedicated CPU resources without hyper-threading, making it suitable for multi-threaded workloads such as software compilation, static web serving, and database operations, while being less optimal for single-threaded tasks or large-scale language model inference.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.78Score
    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.
