    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A high-density, general-purpose virtual machine delivering exceptional multi-core compute performance and high memory bandwidth for demanding enterprise workloads.

    General PurposeCompute Optimized

    Microsoft Azure D96s_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dsv7 family, powered by a 4.2 GHz Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor. It features 96 vCPUs (48 physical cores), 384.0 GB of RAM, and a 480 MB L3 cache, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Lacking local storage and dedicated GPUs, this instance relies on external Premium Storage. Benchmarks indicate exceptional multi-core performance, with a PassMark CPU score of 105,569.39 and a multi-threaded bzip3 decompression speed of 556.8 GB/sec. It also demonstrates high throughput in database operations, handling 152.07 million Redis SET operations per second, and static web serving at 124.31 GB/sec. The D96s_v7 is highly suited for enterprise-grade multi-threaded workloads, large database operations, and CPU-based machine learning inference, offering a balanced resource profile for high-density compute tasks without local storage overhead.

    Workload Profiles

    5.53Score
    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.
