    Server Description

    A burstable ARM64 virtual machine offering balanced memory and multi-core processing for non-continuous, general-purpose workloads.

    Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure B16ps_v2 is an ARM64-based burstable virtual machine within the Bpsv2 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Powered by an Ampere Altra ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor, it features 16 physical cores and 16 vCPUs operating at 3.0 GHz, paired with 64.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmark results show average multi-core performance, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 28877.71 and a Passmark CPU score of 11631.88. Single-threaded performance and cryptographic operations are weaker, as shown by a Geekbench single-core score of 1107.0 and a weak Passmark encryption rating. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for burstable, general-purpose workloads, such as software compilation, static web serving, and database operations, where continuous maximum CPU utilization is not required.
