      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated dual-vCPU virtual server with bundled NVMe storage, delivering strong single-core performance for general-purpose workloads.

      General Purpose

      Vultr vx1-g-2c-8g-120s is a general-purpose virtual server from the VX1 Cloud Compute family, featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs on an AMD EPYC x86_64 processor running at 2.0 GHz. It is equipped with 8.0 GB of RAM, a bundled 120 GB NVMe SSD, and one public IPv4 address. Performance benchmarks reveal strong single-core capabilities, with single-threaded compression and Geekbench single-core tests ranking in the top tiers. Conversely, multi-core performance, database operations, and software compilation benchmarks fall into the lower tiers. This resource profile makes the server highly suitable for single-threaded processing, lightweight static web serving, and general-purpose utility workloads, while presenting performance tradeoffs for highly parallelized applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.38Score
      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.
