    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors, local SSD storage, and reliable mid-range multi-core performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D16ds_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DDSv4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL x86_64 processor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs (8 physical cores) running at 2.6 GHz, 64.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 614 GB local SSD. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers balanced compute and memory resources. Benchmark results place its performance in the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 7781.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 15859.67. It achieves a static web serving throughput of 12.0 GB/sec and handles 14.01 million Redis SET operations per second. Lacking a GPU, it is not designed for heavy AI workloads, as shown by its weak 24.63 tokens/sec prompt processing on 7B LLM models. The D16ds_v4 is recommended for general-purpose enterprise applications, software compilation, and moderate database workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.78Score
    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.
