      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A burstable, budget-friendly virtual machine with balanced memory-to-core allocation for workloads with intermittent CPU utilization.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B2s_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Bsv2 family, configured with 2 vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz on an x86_64 architecture, this instance utilizes Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization. It features no local storage or GPU resources. Performance benchmarks indicate average single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1596.0, but multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics fall into the lower percentiles. For example, the stress-ng multi-core score is 1932.68, and large-block memory read bandwidth is limited to 14.1 GB/sec. Given these hardware constraints and its burstable CPU allocation, this server is best suited for low-intensity workloads, such as light web serving, development environments, or small background processes that experience intermittent CPU utilization.

      Workload Profiles

      0.2Score
      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.
