    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An ARM-powered virtual machine featuring dedicated cores, fast local NVMe storage, and exceptional memory performance for balanced workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D8pds_v6 is an ARM64-based virtual machine featuring 8 dedicated physical cores powered by a 3.4 GHz Microsoft Neoverse-N2 processor. It is equipped with 32.0 GB of RAM and 472 GB of local NVMe SSD storage, offering a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-memory ratio. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, this instance delivers top-tier memory performance, with its Passmark memory score ranking in the top 10%, alongside strong single-threaded gzip compression. While general compute, web serving, and database benchmarks perform in the average tier, cryptographic operations and large-model LLM inference show relative performance weaknesses. The combination of dedicated ARM cores and fast local storage makes the D8pds_v6 a qualitatively cost-efficient choice for general-purpose applications, web hosting, and database workloads optimized for ARM architectures.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    0.88Score
    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.
