      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated AMD EPYC cores and bundled NVMe storage for memory-intensive, single-threaded workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Vultr vx1-m-2c-16g-120s is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual server from the VX1 Cloud Compute family. Powered by an AMD EPYC processor running at 2.0 GHz, it provides 2 dedicated vCPUs, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 120 GB NVMe SSD. While single-core benchmarks—such as Geekbench single-core and single-threaded compression—rank in the top 25%, multi-core performance and database operations fall in the bottom 25%. Large-block memory bandwidth and static web serving throughput remain average. With a high 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this server offers qualitative cost efficiency for memory-heavy workloads that do not demand intensive parallel processing. It is well-suited for text processing, single-threaded applications, and lightweight web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.327Score
      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.
