    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring high-frequency Intel processors, dedicated vCPUs, and fast local NVMe SSD storage.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8ds_v7 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs from 4 physical Intel Xeon 6973P-C cores running at 4.2 GHz. It is equipped with 32.0 GB of RAM, a 480 MB L3 cache, and a bundled 472 GB NVMe SSD. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the instance lacks integrated GPUs and complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Performance benchmarks show strong single-threaded capabilities, with gzip compression at 35.05 GB/sec and bzip3 decompression at 15.08 GB/sec. It delivers average multi-core performance and memory bandwidth, alongside 15.0 million Redis SET operations per second. Supported by Intel AMX and AVX-512 extensions, this instance offers a balanced resource profile for general-purpose applications, database operations, static web serving, and lightweight machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    0.96Score
    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.
