    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density virtual machine combining ninety-six dedicated Intel Xeon vCPUs with massive local NVMe storage for demanding database workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & DatabaseCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure D96ds_v7 is a high-capacity general-purpose virtual machine powered by a 96-vCPU Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. It features 384.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 5669 GB local NVMe SSD, operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. The server delivers top-tier performance in multi-threaded benchmarks, including Passmark CPU tests, Redis SET operations at 156.15 million operations per second, and static web serving at 151.5 GB/sec. It also exhibits strong memory bandwidth and top-tier LLM prompt processing capabilities. Qualitatively, the inclusion of massive local NVMe storage provides excellent resource density, reducing the need for external storage overhead. This virtual machine is highly suited for demanding database operations, high-throughput web serving, and intensive multi-threaded data processing workloads.

    Performance

    Workload Profiles

    5.7Score
    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.
