      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, 96-vCPU general-purpose server delivering top-tier multi-core processing and balanced memory for demanding enterprise workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Microsoft Azure D96as_v5 is a general-purpose server from the DASv5 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. It features 96 dedicated vCPUs across 48 physical cores, 384.0 GB of RAM, and no local storage or GPUs. Operating under Microsoft Hyper-V, it delivers top-tier multi-core CPU performance and encryption capabilities, ranking in the top 10% of benchmarks. It also shows strong top-25% performance in multi-threaded decompression, software compilation, and database operations. With a balanced 1:4 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, this instance provides high resource density and qualitative cost efficiency for demanding enterprise workloads. It is highly suited for database management, large-scale software compilation, cryptography, and multi-threaded enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      2.8Score
      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.
