Maximum single-thread power.

Sustained 5.0 GHz+ with dedicated physical cores and zero jitter.

5.0 GHz+ sustained

No thermal throttling — sustained turbo boost frequencies for consistent single-core performance under load.

Dedicated physical cores

No hyperthreading, no timesharing. Each vCPU maps to a dedicated physical core for deterministic performance.

Performance isolation

CPU pinning, NUMA awareness, and huge pages for minimal jitter. Ideal for latency-critical workloads.

Low-latency networking

DPDK and SR-IOV support for kernel-bypass networking. Sub-microsecond network stack latency.

25 Gbps networking

High-bandwidth network for data-intensive workloads. Jumbo frames and flow control supported.

Custom silicon tuning

Processor firmware optimized for maximum single-thread performance with disabled power-saving features.
