    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density, 128-vCPU general-purpose server featuring massive local NVMe storage and top-tier multi-core processing capabilities for enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D128ds_v7 is a high-capacity, general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv7 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor. It features 128 dedicated vCPUs (64 physical cores) running at 4.2 GHz, 512.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 7559 GB local NVMe SSD, with no GPU acceleration. Benchmarks show top-tier multi-core CPU performance, exceptional memory bandwidth, and outstanding database and Redis SET operation throughput, though single-core metrics remain average. This hardware profile delivers strong qualitative cost efficiency for resource-dense, non-GPU workloads. It is highly suited for enterprise database hosting, high-throughput web serving, and multi-threaded data processing.

    Workload Profiles

    7.7Score
    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.
