      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A high-density, general-purpose virtual machine delivering 96 dedicated Intel Xeon vCPUs and exceptional multi-core processing for demanding enterprise workloads.

      General PurposeCompute Optimized

      Microsoft Azure D96s_v7 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dsv7 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor operating at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it features 96 dedicated vCPUs across 48 physical cores, supported by a 480 MB L3 cache and 384.0 GB of RAM. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. The server delivers strong multi-core performance, ranking in the top 25% for Geekbench multi-core and stress-ng multi-core benchmarks, and top 10% for PassMark CPU and encryption tests. It also achieves top-tier throughput in Redis SET operations and static web serving. The D96s_v7 is appropriate for multi-threaded enterprise workloads, database operations, software compilation, and high-throughput web serving.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      5.4Score
      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.
