    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated AMD EPYC compute instance featuring high single-core performance, local NVMe storage, and balanced memory throughput for predictable workloads.

    Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    OVHcloud c3-32 is a compute-optimized server instance featuring 16 dedicated AMD EPYC physical cores on the x86_64 architecture. Operating at 2.3 GHz with one thread per core, it is paired with 32.0 GB of RAM, yielding a 2.0 GB per core ratio. Storage is supported by a 400 GB NVMe SSD, and networking is provisioned at a 2 Gbps baseline bandwidth. Benchmark data highlights strong single-core CPU performance, high Passmark memory scores, and strong multi-threaded bzip3 decompression capabilities, while multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth metrics remain average. This KVM-based instance is highly suited for compute-intensive workloads, software compilation, text processing, and dedicated application hosting where predictable CPU performance is required without the overhead of shared resources.

    Workload Profiles

    1.33Score
    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.
