    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring forty-eight vCPUs, strong memory performance, and local storage for parallelized enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D48s_v3 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the DSv3 family, powered by a 2.6 GHz Intel Xeon 8272CL processor with 48 vCPUs and 24 physical cores. It features 192.0 GB of RAM, 393 GB of local storage, and is Premium Storage capable. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, its x86_64 architecture supports AVX and AVX512F instructions. Benchmark data indicates weak single-core CPU performance, but multi-core operations, software compilation, and database tasks perform at average levels. Notably, its Passmark memory score is strong, placing in the top 25%. Lacking GPU acceleration, this instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for highly parallelized general-purpose workloads, multi-threaded database operations, and static web serving rather than single-threaded or large-scale AI inference tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    1.49Score
    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.
