CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A balanced general-purpose virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon compute, a 480 MB L3 cache, and premium remote storage compatibility.
The Microsoft Azure D8s_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dsv7 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. This x86_64 instance features 8 dedicated vCPUs (4 physical cores), 32.0 GB of RAM, and a 480 MB L3 cache. It lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage for remote disks. Performance benchmarks show strong single-threaded capabilities, with gzip compression reaching a top-tier 36.55 GB/sec and small-model LLM text generation achieving a strong 271.19 tokens/sec. Other metrics, such as Redis SET operations (16.48 million ops/sec) and static web serving (17.16 GB/sec), fall into the average range. The D8s_v7 is appropriate for general-purpose workloads, database operations, and web serving where a balanced vCPU-to-RAM ratio and dedicated compute resources are required.
