      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server combining high memory capacity with strong single-threaded performance for lightweight, memory-intensive workloads.

      Memory OptimizedBurstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      The Vultr vx1-m-2c-16g is a memory-optimized virtual server from the VX1 Cloud Compute family, featuring 2 shared AMD EPYC vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM. While its single-threaded performance is highly competitive, ranking in the top 10% for single-core stress-ng and compression benchmarks, its multi-core capabilities and database operations fall into the bottom 25%. With 1 GB of network storage and average memory bandwidth for large blocks, this configuration is best suited for memory-heavy, low-compute workloads such as caching, lightweight web serving, and basic background tasks where high memory capacity is required without intensive multi-threaded processing.

      Workload Profiles

      0.381Score
      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.
