    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A dedicated x86_64 server featuring high memory density, local storage, and strong multi-core processing for database and memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure DC48ds_v3 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the DDCSv3 family, configured with 48 dedicated physical cores and 48 vCPUs using an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz. It features 384.0 GB of RAM, establishing an 8.0 GB per core ratio, alongside 2458 GB of local storage with Premium Storage capability. The instance lacks GPU resources and public IPv4 addresses. Performance benchmarks show strong multi-core CPU execution, high memory bandwidth, and strong database operations, while single-core performance remains average. This hardware profile is optimized for memory-intensive workloads, database management, and high-throughput web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    3.8Score
    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.
