    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A burstable x86_64 virtual machine with eight vCPUs and thirty-two gigabytes of memory for variable general-purpose workloads.

    Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure B8s_v2 is an x86_64 burstable virtual machine from the Bsv2 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features an Intel Xeon 8370C processor with 4 physical cores, 8 vCPUs, and a 2.8 GHz clock speed, paired with 32.0 GB of system memory. The instance does not include local storage but is Premium Storage capable. Performance benchmarks generally fall into the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6114.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 11380.71. However, multi-threaded bzip3 decompression is relatively weak at 31.92 GB/sec. This burstable resource model provides qualitative cost efficiency for non-continuous workloads. It is suited for general-purpose tasks, static web serving, database operations, and software compilation.

    Workload Profiles

    0.628Score
    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.
