    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An entry-level virtual server with dedicated dual-core processing, balanced memory, and local SSD storage for lightweight workloads.

    General Purpose

    OVHcloud b2-7 is a general-purpose virtual server instance utilizing the KVM hypervisor and x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with an Intel Haswell processor offering 2 dedicated physical cores at 2.0 GHz, 7.0 GB of RAM, and a local 50 GB SSD. Performance benchmarks indicate that the instance operates in the lower tiers, with a Geekbench single-core score of 926.0 and a multi-core score of 1573.0. Memory read-only large block bandwidth is measured at 25.07 GB/sec, and static web serving throughput reaches 2.84 GB/sec. Given its dedicated CPU allocation but modest performance profile, this instance is best suited for low-intensity workloads such as basic web serving, lightweight database tasks, and development environments where resource predictability is required without high computational demands.

    Workload Profiles

    0.202Score
    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.
