    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A burstable x86_64 virtual machine featuring AMD EPYC processing and balanced memory for workloads with variable CPU utilization.

    Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure B16as_v2 is an x86_64 burstable virtual machine from the Basv2 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It features 16 vCPUs across 8 physical cores, 64.0 GB of RAM, and no local storage, though it supports Premium Storage. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers strong single-core CPU performance and strong memory scores in benchmarks, while multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics remain average. Due to its burstable CPU allocation, the server provides qualitative cost efficiency for workloads with fluctuating resource demands. However, the risk of CPU throttling under sustained loads and the absence of local storage represent key tradeoffs. It is best suited for development environments, code compilation, and web serving with variable traffic.

    Workload Profiles

    0.941Score
    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.
