    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated four-vCPU virtual machine offering balanced memory density and network optimization for general-purpose workloads without local storage.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D4ns_v6 is a network-optimized, general-purpose virtual machine powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573C processor. It features 4 dedicated vCPUs derived from 2 physical cores, 16.0 GB of RAM, and a 260 MB L3 cache, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. The instance lacks local storage but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks reveal average single-core CPU performance, with a PassMark CPU score of 7079.45 and static web serving throughput of 7.42 GB/sec. However, it exhibits weak multi-core scaling and memory bandwidth, as shown by a multi-core stress-ng score of 3448.02 and large-block read speeds of 32.41 GB/sec. This virtual machine is best suited for network-optimized workloads, static web serving, and lightweight single-threaded applications, while being less optimal for memory-bound databases or heavy multi-threaded compute tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.44Score
    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.
