    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced x86_64 compute instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and integrated local SSD storage for general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8ds_v5 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 32.0 GB of RAM, powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It includes a bundled 307 GB local SSD and supports Premium Storage. Benchmark results position the instance in the average tier for most operations, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6053.0 and Redis SET operations reaching 8.01 million operations per second. However, multi-threaded bzip3 decompression performance is relatively weak, falling into the bottom 25%. The balanced resource configuration and local storage make this instance qualitatively cost-effective for workloads requiring temporary scratch space. It is suited for database hosting, static web serving, and general-purpose enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    0.62Score
    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.
