      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

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

      Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

      Vultr vbm-8c-132gb-v2 is a dedicated bare metal server powered by an Intel Xeon 2388G processor with 8 physical cores, 16 vCPUs, and a 3.2 GHz clock speed. It features 128.0 GB of DDR4 memory and a bundled 3840 GB local NVMe SSD, offering a memory-to-vCPU ratio of 8.0 GB per core. Benchmark results show strong single-core performance, with Geekbench single-core scores and single-threaded compression tests placing in the top 25 percent. However, large-block uncached memory bandwidth is a notable bottleneck, scoring in the bottom 25 percent. The server achieves a top-tier Passmark memory score, ranking in the top 10 percent. This hardware profile is highly effective for memory-intensive applications, database deployments, and software compilation tasks that benefit from dedicated physical resources and fast local NVMe storage without virtualization overhead.

      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.
