      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A budget-friendly virtual server combining six shared vCPUs, sixteen gigabytes of memory, and local NVMe storage for non-critical workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Vultr vc2-6c-16gb is a budget-friendly Cloud Compute instance featuring 6 shared Intel Xeon vCPUs, 16.0 GB of RAM, and 320 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Operating on the x86_64 architecture at 2.0 GHz, this instance is designed for workloads that benefit from multi-core capacity without requiring sustained, dedicated CPU performance. Benchmark data reveals a trade-off: single-core performance and database operations are weak, while multi-core stress tests and Redis SET operations achieve average tier results. With 2.67 GB of memory per core and a shared CPU model, this server offers a cost-efficient profile for resource-dense but non-critical workloads. It is best suited for development environments, lightweight caching, and low-traffic web applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.329Score
      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.
