    Server Description

    A dedicated four-core Intel-powered virtual machine offering high memory density for memory-bound enterprise applications and database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure DC4s_v3 is an x86_64 virtual machine from the DCSv3 family, powered by a dedicated 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon 8370C processor with 4 physical cores and 4 vCPUs. It features 32.0 GB of RAM, providing a high 8.0 GB per core memory density, but includes no local storage or GPUs. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the instance delivers average performance across standard compute and memory benchmarks, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 5404.0 and a Redis SET throughput of 8.7 million operations per second. However, it exhibits weaker performance in multi-threaded decompression and medium-sized LLM inference. Given its high memory-to-vCPU ratio and lack of local storage, the DC4s_v3 is best suited for memory-optimized workloads, database operations, caching layers, and general-purpose enterprise applications requiring dedicated CPU resources.

    Workload Profiles

    0.571Score
    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.
