    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 virtual machine featuring a 1:8 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, dedicated Intel Xeon cores, and support for premium external storage.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure DC8s_v3 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine from the DCSv3 family, running on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It features 8 dedicated physical cores and 8 vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 8370C processor clocked at 2.8 GHz, paired with 64.0 GB of RAM. The instance lacks local storage and dedicated GPUs, relying on external Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks place the server in the average tier, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 9024.0 and a Passmark CPU score of 17073.48. It demonstrates strong performance in small-scale LLM text generation, reaching 279.29 tokens per second. With an 8.0 GB per core memory allocation, this server is suited for database operations, memory-cached applications, software compilation, and web serving.

    Workload Profiles

    0.969Score
    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.
