      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high RAM density and dedicated AMD processors for memory-intensive database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16-8as_v5 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EASv5 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is configured with an x86_64 AMD EPYC 7763 processor operating at 3.525 GHz, providing 8 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores. The instance features 128.0 GB of RAM, establishing a high memory-to-vCPU ratio of 16.0 GB per core, but lacks local storage and GPU resources. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities, alongside average multi-core and memory read speeds. However, large-block memory write bandwidth and medium-model LLM prompt processing represent performance tradeoffs, falling into the lower tier. This server is structurally suited for memory-intensive workloads such as database operations, caching, and enterprise applications that benefit from high memory density relative to compute capacity.

      Workload Profiles

      0.45Score
      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.
