    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring high single-core clock speeds and integrated local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D4ds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573C processor with 4 dedicated vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM. It features a bundled 236 GB NVMe SSD and supports Premium Storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers strong single-core performance, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2165.0 and high single-threaded Gzip compression speeds. However, multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth are relatively weak, as shown in uncached read/write benchmarks. The hardware configuration makes this instance qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring high single-thread execution speed without heavy memory throughput demands. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, static web serving, text processing, and moderate database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.48Score
    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.
