    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD processors, high-capacity RAM, and integrated local SSD storage for demanding workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    The Microsoft Azure E16ads_v5 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine configured with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM, powered by an AMD EPYC 7763 processor running at 3.525 GHz. Operating under the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, it includes 614 GB of local SSD storage and supports Premium Storage. Performance benchmarks show strong single-core CPU capabilities and strong memory scores, contrasted by average multi-core performance and weaker uncached large-block memory bandwidth. This server offers qualitative cost efficiency for memory-intensive applications by bundling high-capacity RAM and local storage on a single instance. It is suited for database hosting, in-memory caching, and data processing workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.72Score
    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.
