      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      An entry-level general-purpose virtual machine with dedicated Intel processors, balanced memory, and average single-core performance for lightweight workloads.

      General Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure D2_v5 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dv5 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C x86_64 processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM, with no local storage or GPU accelerators. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the instance delivers average single-core performance, as shown by its stress-ng single-core score of 1889.98 and Geekbench single-core score of 1596.0. However, multi-core and memory bandwidth benchmarks fall into the lower percentiles, with a multi-core Geekbench score of 1851.0 and uncached read bandwidth of 14.67 GB/sec. This hardware profile provides a cost-efficient entry point for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, basic web serving, and simple text processing, but is not recommended for database operations or intensive multi-threaded tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.2Score
      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.
