      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An ARM64-powered burstable virtual machine offering balanced memory and compute resources for workloads with variable CPU utilization demands.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure B8ps_v2 is an ARM64-based burstable virtual machine from the Bpsv2 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Powered by an Ampere ARMv8 Neoverse-N1 processor at 3.0 GHz, it features 8 physical cores, 8 vCPUs, and 32.0 GB of RAM. The server lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks indicate average multi-core performance, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6099.0 and a stress-ng multi-core score of 14508.5, alongside a weak single-core profile. Memory bandwidth reaches 565.71 GB/sec for cached reads. This burstable instance is qualitatively cost-effective for workloads with fluctuating resource demands, such as static web serving, Redis databases, software compilation, and general-purpose development environments.

      Workload Profiles

      0.61Score
      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.
