    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and high-speed local NVMe SSD storage for diverse workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8ds_v6 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Ddsv6 family, powered by an 8-vCPU Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 32.0 GB of RAM, a 472 GB local NVMe SSD, and runs on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Benchmark results show strong single-core capabilities, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2171.0 and 31.31 GB/sec gzip compression. Multi-core performance is average, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 8331.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 14282.05. The instance lacks a GPU, resulting in weak text generation performance of 8.03 tokens/sec for 7B LLM inference. This server is best suited for general-purpose workloads, database operations, software compilation, and web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.87Score
    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.
