    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing and integrated local SSD storage for standard workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D4ds_v5 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine from the DDSv5 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 4 dedicated vCPUs across 2 physical cores, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 154 GB local SSD. Performance benchmarks reveal a clear tradeoff: the instance delivers average single-core performance, as seen in its Geekbench single-core score of 1639.0, but exhibits weaker multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth. For instance, its multi-core Geekbench score is 3502.0, and large-block read bandwidth is limited to 29.78 GB/sec. Qualitatively, the D4ds_v5 provides a balanced resource profile with cost-effective local storage for workloads that do not require intensive parallel processing. It is well-suited for static web serving, light database operations, and general-purpose applications requiring moderate temporary disk space.

    Workload Profiles

    0.365Score
    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.
