    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring high single-core clock speeds, advanced Intel instruction sets, and fast local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D2ds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine featuring 2 dedicated vCPUs and 8.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it includes a 118 GB local NVMe SSD and supports Premium Storage. While its single-core performance is strong—highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2105.0—its multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth benchmarks fall into the lower quartiles. The processor supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Lacking GPU acceleration, this instance is best suited for lightweight, single-threaded workloads, basic web serving, and development environments requiring fast local storage but modest multi-threaded compute resources.

    Workload Profiles

    0.26Score
    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.
