    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dual-vCPU virtual machine featuring high single-core clock speeds, dedicated CPU allocation, and integrated local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D2ds_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv7 family, powered by a 2-vCPU Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture with Microsoft Hyper-V, it features 1 physical core, 8.0 GB of RAM, and 118 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Benchmarks reveal top-tier single-core performance in Geekbench, alongside strong text processing capabilities. However, multi-core execution, memory bandwidth, and database operations are relatively weak due to the dual-vCPU constraint. The server offers dedicated CPU allocation, presenting a balanced entry-level hardware profile with bundled local storage. It is best suited for lightweight general-purpose workloads, single-threaded applications, development environments, and basic web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.3Score
    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.
