      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A burstable virtual machine combining strong single-core AMD EPYC performance with a balanced memory profile for variable workloads.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B8as_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Basv2 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an x86_64 AMD EPYC 7763 processor operating at 3.525 GHz, configured with 8 vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 32.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage but supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities, while multi-core processing, memory bandwidth, and database operations perform in the average tier. Conversely, multi-threaded bzip3 decompression is weak. Given its burstable CPU allocation, this server provides a cost-efficient resource profile for workloads with fluctuating CPU demands. It is suitable for general-purpose applications, static web serving, and development environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.47Score
      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.
