    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-clock, compute-focused virtual machine with dedicated Intel Xeon cores and fast local NVMe storage for low-memory workloads.

    Compute OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D4lds_v7 is a compute-focused virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It provides 4 dedicated vCPUs (2 physical cores), 8.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 236 GB local NVMe SSD. The server features a substantial 480 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets such as AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmarks show strong single-threaded performance, with gzip compression and bzip3 decompression scoring in the top tier, though multi-core scaling and write memory bandwidth are relatively weak. With a low memory-to-vCPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core, this instance is optimized for CPU-bound, low-memory workloads. It is highly suitable for single-threaded processing, lightweight web serving, and microservices that benefit from high clock speeds and fast 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.
