      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A dedicated single-core virtual machine offering a high memory-to-core ratio and hardware-accelerated cryptography for secure, lightweight workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      The Microsoft Azure DC1s_v3 is a single-core virtual machine powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8370C processor clocked at 2.8 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it features 1 physical core, 1 thread, and 8.0 GB of system memory, establishing a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio. The processor includes 48 MB of L3 cache and supports AVX-512 and hardware-accelerated cryptography. No local storage or GPUs are included. Benchmarks indicate average single-core performance, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1628.0 and a stress-ng single-core score of 1875.88, though multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics fall into lower tiers due to the single-vCPU constraint. This instance is qualitatively cost-efficient for low-resource, dedicated-CPU tasks, making it suitable for lightweight single-threaded applications, basic web serving, and small-scale database operations.

      Performance

      Workload Profiles

      0.18Score
      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.
