      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine delivering high RAM density per vCPU for memory-intensive workloads with moderate parallel processing requirements.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16-4s_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the ESv5 family, featuring an Intel Xeon 8370C processor running at 2.8 GHz on the x86_64 architecture. It provides 4 dedicated vCPUs across 2 physical cores and a substantial 128.0 GB of RAM, resulting in 32.0 GB of memory per vCPU. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports Premium Storage. Benchmark data shows average single-core CPU and memory performance, contrasted with weak multi-core CPU performance and memory bandwidth. This hardware profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-heavy applications that do not demand high parallel processing power. It is best suited for in-memory databases, caching layers, and memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.36Score
      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.
