      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-dense virtual server featuring a high memory-to-vCPU ratio, designed for caching, databases, and memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16-8s_v4 is a memory-optimized server from the ESv4 family, featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz and 128.0 GB of RAM. Built on the x86_64 architecture under Microsoft Hyper-V, it provides a high memory-to-core ratio of 16.0 GB per vCPU. While it lacks local storage and GPUs, it is Premium Storage capable. Performance benchmarks show average results for standard tasks, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 4696.0 and a Redis throughput of 6.84 million SET operations per second. However, it exhibits performance trade-offs in multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and medium-model LLM inference. This server is best suited for memory-intensive workloads such as databases, caching layers, and static web serving, where high memory capacity is prioritized over dense multi-core compute performance.

      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.
