    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized instance featuring high single-core AMD EPYC performance, 128 GB RAM, and local NVMe SSD storage.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure E16-8ads_v7 is a memory-optimized server instance from the Eadsv7 family, virtualized via Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs powered by an AMD EPYC 9V45 processor running at 4.5 GHz, with 128.0 GB of RAM and a bundled 945 GB NVMe SSD. The hardware delivers top-tier single-core performance, as evidenced by top 10% rankings in Geekbench single-core and single-threaded compression benchmarks. However, its multi-core CPU and memory bandwidth metrics remain in the average tier. With a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 16.0 GB per core, this instance provides qualitative resource density for memory-bound applications. It is well-suited for database operations, caching layers, text processing, and workloads requiring strong single-threaded execution.

    Workload Profiles

    0.67Score
    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.
