    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated dual-core server featuring a high memory-to-vCPU ratio and local storage for entry-level workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure DC2ds_v3 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the DDCSv3 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 2 dedicated vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor at 2.8 GHz, paired with 16.0 GB of RAM and 154 GB of local storage. Single-core benchmarks, such as Geekbench and stress-ng, place the instance in the average performance tier, while multi-core and memory bandwidth metrics are relatively weak. With an 8.0 GB RAM-per-core ratio, it offers a memory-optimized profile for smaller workloads. It is best suited for lightweight databases, basic web serving, and small-scale text processing tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    0.34Score
    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.
