    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated dual-core x86 server with local SSD storage designed for lightweight utility workloads and basic web serving.

    General Purpose

    OVHcloud b2-7 is a general-purpose server instance utilizing the KVM hypervisor and an x86_64 Intel Haswell CPU. It is configured with 2 dedicated physical cores, 2 vCPUs running at 2.0 GHz, 7.0 GB of RAM, and 50 GB of local SSD storage. Benchmark data indicates modest performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 926.0 and a multi-core score of 1573.0, placing its processing capabilities in the lower percentiles. Memory bandwidth is also limited, recording 25.07 GB/sec for large block reads. Given its dedicated CPU allocation and low resource density, this instance represents a cost-efficient option for lightweight applications. It is best suited for basic web serving, simple database tasks, and low-demand utility workloads that do not require high-speed network throughput or intensive computational power.

    Workload Profiles

    0.2Score
    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.
