      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and moderate single-core performance for standard computing workloads.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D4_v4 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dv4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it provides 4 dedicated vCPUs across 2 physical cores with hyperthreading, paired with 16.0 GB of system memory. The instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks show average single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1215.0, but weaker multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth, which registers at 26.1 GB/sec for uncached reads. Qualitatively, this server offers a balanced resource profile for standard workloads without the overhead of specialized hardware. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, light web serving, and development environments that do not require high-throughput multi-threaded processing or local storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.26Score
      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.
