    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced x86_64 virtual machine with dedicated Intel Xeon processors, local SSD storage, and versatile general-purpose performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8ds_v5 is a general-purpose virtual machine instance from the DDSv5 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores, 32.0 GB of RAM, and 307 GB of local SSD storage. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the instance supports AVX-512 and cryptographic acceleration. Performance benchmarks consistently place this server in the average tier, with a single-core Geekbench score of 1637.0 and a multi-core score of 6053.0. It delivers 12.1 GB/sec of static web serving throughput and 8.01 million Redis SET operations per second. While multi-threaded bzip3 decompression is a relative bottleneck, the overall balanced compute-to-memory ratio and local storage capability make it highly suitable for general-purpose applications, software compilation, web serving, and database operations.

    Workload Profiles

    0.629Score
    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.
