    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    Balanced general-purpose cloud instance featuring dedicated 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon cores, 16 GB RAM, and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D4ds_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor with x86_64 architecture. It provides 4 vCPUs, 2 physical cores, 16.0 GB of memory, and 236 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Hardware features include a 480 MB L3 cache and support for Intel AMX and AVX-512 instruction sets. Benchmark evaluations show top-tier single-threaded gzip compression and strong single-threaded bzip3 decompression, alongside average scores in PassMark CPU tests, Redis SET operations at 8.24 million ops/sec, and static web serving at 8.72 GB/sec. Multi-core performance and memory write bandwidth represent primary processing tradeoffs. The server fits general web hosting, microservices, application backends, and data compression pipelines requiring fast temporary local storage.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.55Score
    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.
