      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated bare metal server combining high-capacity NVMe storage, strong single-core performance, and dedicated memory resources for demanding workloads.

      Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      The Vultr vbm-8c-132gb-v2 is a dedicated bare metal server powered by an Intel Xeon 2388G processor with 8 physical cores and 16 vCPUs running at 3.2 GHz. It features 128.0 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 3840 GB local NVMe SSD, providing a high-capacity storage and memory profile without virtualization overhead. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core capabilities, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2204.0 and strong single-threaded compression performance. However, uncached large-block memory bandwidth is relatively weak. With its dedicated resource allocation and balanced memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8 GB per core, this server is highly suitable for database hosting, static web serving, and memory-intensive applications that benefit from direct hardware access and fast local NVMe storage.

      Workload Profiles

      1Score
      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.
