    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated ARM64 virtual machine offering balanced memory, local storage, and efficient single-core performance for lightweight general-purpose workloads.

    General Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure D2pds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dpdsv6 family, powered by a dedicated ARM-based Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. Operating at 3.4 GHz, it features 2 physical cores, 2 vCPUs, and 8.0 GB of system memory, establishing a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. The instance includes 118 GB of local storage and is Premium Storage capable, though it lacks GPU acceleration. Benchmark results show average single-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 1673.0 and strong single-threaded gzip compression at 33.01 GB/sec. However, multi-core and memory write performance are relatively weak, as evidenced by a Geekbench multi-core score of 3059.0. This server is qualitatively cost-efficient for lightweight, dedicated ARM64 workloads, making it suitable for basic web serving, single-threaded processing, and development environments.

    Workload Profiles

    0.292Score
    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.
