Comparing CPU Multicore Performance of OCI Compute Standard Flex Shapes
When selecting a compute instance, factors such as raw computational power, price-to-performance ratio, and workload optimization play a significant role. The following standard flex shapes available in most OCI regions are: VM.Standard.E4.Flex (Processor: AMD EPYC 7J13. Base frequency 2.55 GHz, max boost frequency 3.5 GHz) VM.Standard.E5.Flex (Processor: AMD EPYC 9J14. Base frequency 2.4 GHz, max boost frequency 3.7 GHz) VM.Standard3.Flex (Processor: Intel Xeon Platinum 8358. Base frequency 2.6 GHz, max turbo frequency 3.4 GHz) VM.Optimized3.Flex (Processor: Intel Xeon 6354. Base frequency 3.0 GHz, max turbo frequency 3.6 GHz) VM.Standard.A1.Flex (Each OCPU corresponds to a single hardware execution thread. Processor: Ampere Altra Q80-30. Max frequency 3.0 GHz.) In this article: Performance testing with PHP and OCI Compute instances I have tested a single PHP thread/cpu execution over all OCI standard flex shapes, now I conducted multicore benchmark tests with Geekbench 6 using 2, 4 and 8 CPU. ...
