    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-core general-purpose instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processing, balanced memory density, and substantial local SSD storage for multi-threaded workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    The Microsoft Azure D96d_v5 is an x86_64 general-purpose server from the DDv5 family, powered by a dedicated 96-vCPU Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 384.0 GB of RAM and 3686 GB of local SSD storage, with no GPU hardware. Benchmarks show strong multi-core capabilities, including a PassMark CPU score of 76,819.32 and top-tier cryptographic performance. Memory read bandwidth reaches 315.9 GB/sec for large blocks. However, single-core performance is average, and large-model LLM text generation is weak at 2.69 tokens/sec. This instance is suited for database operations, software compilation, static web serving, and multi-threaded enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    3.9Score
    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.
