    Server Description

    A balanced virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores, fast NVMe storage, and strong single-core performance for general-purpose workloads.

    General Purpose

    The OVHcloud b3-32 is a general-purpose virtual server built on the x86_64 architecture and powered by an AMD EPYC processor. It features 8 dedicated physical cores operating at 2.3 GHz with no hyperthreading, paired with 32 GB of RAM to maintain a balanced 1:4 resource ratio. Storage is supported by a bundled 200 GB NVMe SSD, and network connectivity is rated at a 2 Gbps baseline. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU execution, high memory write bandwidth, and strong text processing capabilities, while multi-core operations and database tasks perform at average levels. The dedicated CPU allocation ensures stable performance, making this instance a cost-effective option for general-purpose applications, web serving, software compilation, and text processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.85Score
    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.
