PerfKit Benchmarker (PKB) contains a set of benchmarks to measure and compare cloud offerings. The benchmarks use default settings to reflect what most users will see.

PKB provisions all available GCE machine types and exposes all cores defined in the machine type by default. This means a c3-standard-22 instance will have 22 vCPUs across 11 physical CPUs.
For benchmarking purposes, we can leverage the GCE Visible Cores feature to expose a subset of cores to the operating system. For example, a c3-standard-22 instance with 8 visible cores will present 16 vCPUs across 8 physical CPUs.
This flexibility allows for tailored performance testing.
