      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual server delivering high memory density and balanced compute performance for database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16-8s_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized server instance within the ESv5 family, running on Microsoft Hyper-V. It features 8 dedicated vCPUs from an Intel Xeon 8370C processor clocked at 2.8 GHz, paired with 128.0 GB of RAM, resulting in a high 16.0 GB per core memory allocation. The instance lacks local storage and GPUs but supports premium remote storage. Performance benchmarks indicate average capabilities, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6201.0, Redis SET performance of 8.02 million operations per second, and static web serving throughput of 12.0 GB/sec. However, parallel processing limitations are evident in its weak multi-threaded bzip3 decompression and medium LLM inference speeds. This configuration is qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-bound workloads that do not demand high CPU density, making it suitable for relational databases, caching layers, and general enterprise applications.

      Workload Profiles

      0.63Score
      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.
