      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated dual-vCPU virtual machine delivering strong single-core performance and balanced memory for entry-level workloads.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D2s_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dsv6 family, powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573C processor. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it provides 2 dedicated vCPUs (1 physical core, 2 threads) and 8.0 GB of RAM, with no local storage or integrated GPUs. The server exhibits strong single-core capabilities, achieving high marks in single-threaded gzip compression and Geekbench single-core tests. Conversely, multi-core performance and memory bandwidth are relatively weak, as evidenced by lower scores in stress-ng multi-core and uncached large-block memory transfers. Lacking local storage, this Premium Storage capable instance represents a cost-efficient option for lightweight workloads. It is best suited for single-threaded applications, development environments, and basic web serving tasks that do not demand intensive multi-core scaling or high memory throughput.

      Workload Profiles

      0.27Score
      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.
