      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores, fast NVMe storage, and strong single-core processing capabilities.

      General PurposeStorage & Database

      Vultr vx1-g-4c-16g-240s is a general-purpose virtual server from the VX1 Cloud Compute family, powered by an x86_64 AMD EPYC processor with 4 dedicated vCPUs, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 240 GB NVMe SSD. It delivers top-tier single-core performance, particularly in text processing and single-threaded compression tasks, though its multi-core scaling is relatively weak. With average memory bandwidth and database performance, this server provides a balanced resource profile. It is recommended for general-purpose workloads, software compilation, and moderate database operations. The hardware configuration features 2 physical cores with 2 threads per core running at 2.0 GHz, supported by a 32 MB L3 cache. It is capable for single-threaded applications but exhibits performance tradeoffs under heavy multi-threaded demands, making it a cost-efficient choice for balanced, non-parallelized workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.643Score
      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.
