    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An AMD-powered general-purpose instance delivering top-tier single-core performance and a balanced memory-to-core ratio for standard workloads.

    General Purpose

    Microsoft Azure D8as_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dav6 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 x86_64 processor. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores, running at 3.7 GHz, paired with 32.0 GB of RAM. The server lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks show top-tier single-core CPU performance, with stress-ng single-core results in the top 10% and strong Geekbench single-core scores. Conversely, multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations align with average tiers. The instance exhibits a performance tradeoff, delivering strong text generation speeds for small language models but weak prompt processing for medium models. It is suited for general-purpose workloads, web serving, software compilation, and applications requiring strong single-threaded execution.

    Workload Profiles

    0.57Score
    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.
