    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A burstable ARM64 virtual machine with eight cores and low memory density, designed for cost-efficient handling of variable workloads.

    Burstable & BudgetCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure B8pls_v2 is a burstable virtual machine from the Bpsv2 family, utilizing an ARM64 Ampere Altra Neoverse-N1 processor with 8 physical cores and 8 vCPUs running at 3.0 GHz. It is equipped with 16.0 GB of RAM, providing a low memory-to-core ratio of 2.0 GB per vCPU, and contains no local storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance is premium storage capable. Performance benchmarks show average multi-core capabilities, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6176.0 and a static web serving throughput of 10.06 GB/sec, though single-core and cryptographic performance are weaker. This burstable resource profile makes the B8pls_v2 a cost-efficient option for workloads with fluctuating CPU demands, such as lightweight database operations, software compilation, and static web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.607Score
    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.
