      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring strong single-core execution and dedicated Intel Xeon processing for standard enterprise workloads.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D4s_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 8573C processor with 4 vCPUs and 16.0 GB of RAM. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance features a dedicated CPU allocation with 260 MB of L3 cache but lacks local storage and integrated GPUs. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core capabilities, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2166.0 and fast single-threaded gzip compression. However, it exhibits weaker multi-core scaling and memory read bandwidth. The instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for balanced workloads that do not require high-speed local storage or heavy multi-threaded parallelization. It is best suited for general-purpose applications, text processing, and lightweight web serving.

      Workload Profiles

      0.49Score
      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.
