      CPU and System Topology

      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring a high RAM-to-vCPU ratio and dedicated Intel Xeon processing for memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Ev4 family, featuring 16 vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM. Powered by a dedicated Intel Xeon 8272CL processor running at 2.6 GHz, this x86_64 server provides 8.0 GB of memory per core. It does not include local storage or GPU accelerators. Benchmark data places its performance in the average tier, with a multi-core stress-ng score of 14807.48 and a Redis SET throughput of 14.0 million operations per second. The high memory-to-vCPU ratio makes it qualitatively cost-efficient for memory-intensive workloads such as databases, in-memory caching, and enterprise applications that do not require local NVMe storage.

      Workload Profiles

      0.78Score
      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.
