CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A network-optimized, low-memory compute instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and advanced matrix extensions for efficient high-throughput workloads.
The Microsoft Azure D32nls_v6 is a network-optimized, low-memory virtual machine from the Dnlv6 family, powered by a 32-vCPU Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture with Microsoft Hyper-V, it features 64.0 GB of RAM, a 260 MB L3 cache, and advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. It lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks show strong performance in large-block read-only memory bandwidth (202.93 GB/sec), static web serving (46.21 GB/sec), and small-model LLM text generation (385.75 tokens/sec). Multi-core stress-ng and write bandwidth benchmarks sit in the average tier. This server is highly efficient for compute-intensive, network-heavy workloads such as web serving, software compilation, and lightweight AI inference where large memory allocations are unnecessary.
