CPU and System Topology

Server Description

A compute-optimized virtual server with dedicated AMD EPYC cores and NVMe storage, delivering strong single-core performance for CPU-bound workloads.

Compute OptimizedGeneral Purpose

OVHcloud c3-8 is a compute-optimized virtual server featuring 4 dedicated AMD EPYC physical cores on the x86_64 architecture, paired with 8.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 100 GB NVMe SSD. Operating on the KVM hypervisor, this instance provides a dedicated CPU allocation with a clock speed of 2.3 GHz. Benchmark data highlights strong single-core CPU performance and text processing capabilities, alongside average multi-core and memory bandwidth results. Conversely, the server shows weaker performance in static web serving throughput and medium-model LLM prompt processing. Given the 2.0 GB of memory per core and dedicated compute resources, the c3-8 is qualitatively cost-efficient for CPU-bound tasks that do not require massive memory footprints. It is suited for workloads such as software compilation, text processing, and lightweight batch processing.

Workload Profiles

0.477Score

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.
