      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An x86_64 server with shared Intel vCPUs, balanced memory, and local NVMe storage for general-purpose workloads and static web serving.

      General PurposeStorage & Database

      Vultr vhf-8c-32gb is an x86_64 server in the High Frequency Compute family, featuring 8 shared Intel vCPUs, 32.0 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB NVMe SSD. It delivers average performance across standard CPU benchmarks, with top-tier results in single-threaded gzip compression and Passmark memory scores. However, it exhibits weak uncached memory bandwidth and poor performance on medium-model LLM inference. Given its shared CPU allocation and balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this server is qualitatively cost-effective for general-purpose workloads, static web serving, software compilation, and moderate database operations that do not require dedicated compute resources.

      Workload Profiles

      0.65Score
      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.
