    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring high-frequency dedicated Intel processors, optimized for strong single-threaded workloads and standard application hosting.

    General Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure D4s_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dsv7 family, powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor. It provides 4 dedicated vCPUs (2 physical cores) and 16.0 GB of RAM, with no local storage or GPUs. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, its x86_64 architecture supports AVX-512 and Intel AMX instructions. Benchmarks reveal strong single-threaded performance, highlighted by high gzip compression and bzip3 decompression speeds, alongside average static web serving and Redis performance. However, multi-core scaling and memory write bandwidth are relatively weak. This virtual machine is qualitatively cost-efficient for balanced, single-thread-heavy workloads such as lightweight web serving, caching, and basic application hosting, while being less optimal for intensive database operations or large-scale multi-threaded processing.

    Workload Profiles

    0.498Score
    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.
