    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dual-vCPU general-purpose instance featuring high single-core clock speeds, integrated local storage, and advanced Intel instruction sets for lightweight workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D2ds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv6 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with an Intel Xeon 8573C processor offering 2 vCPUs (1 physical core with hyper-threading) clocked at 4.2 GHz, 8.0 GB of RAM, and 118 GB of local storage. While it lacks GPU acceleration and public IPv4 addresses, it supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks show strong single-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2105.0 and fast single-threaded gzip compression. However, multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are relatively weak due to the 2-vCPU limit. This server is qualitatively cost-effective for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, such as basic web serving, text processing, and small-scale development environments.

    Workload Profiles

    0.268Score
    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.
