      Server Description

      A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing, strong single-core performance, and advanced vector instruction support.

      General Purpose

      Microsoft Azure D8s_v6 is an x86_64 general-purpose virtual machine powered by an Intel Xeon 8573C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs, 4 physical cores, and 32.0 GB of RAM, yielding a balanced 4.0 GB of memory per core. The instance lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks indicate strong single-core capabilities, highlighted by a Geekbench single-core score of 2162.0 and strong text processing. Most multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics fall in the average tier. The processor includes Intel AMX and AVX-512 instructions, though text generation on a 7B LLM is weak at 7.94 tokens/sec due to the lack of GPU acceleration. This server is configured for general-purpose applications, web serving, and database operations.

      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.
