    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density general-purpose platform featuring ninety-six dedicated processor cores, massive local storage, and top-tier database and web serving performance.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D96ds_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 96 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor operating at 4.2 GHz, paired with 384.0 GB of RAM and 5669 GB of local storage. The x86_64 architecture supports advanced instruction sets including AVX-512 and AMX. In benchmark testing, the instance delivers top-tier performance in multi-threaded decompression, database operations, and static web serving, alongside strong multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth results. This high-density configuration provides qualitative cost efficiency by bundling substantial local storage with high compute capacity, eliminating the need for external storage overhead. The D96ds_v7 is optimized for large-scale databases, high-throughput web serving, data processing pipelines, and CPU-based machine learning inference.

    Workload Profiles

    5.71Score
    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.
