    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and high-speed local NVMe storage for memory-intensive database workloads.

    The Microsoft Azure E16ads_v6 is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual machine powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 processor running at 3.7 GHz. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs, 128.0 GB of RAM, and a bundled 945 GB local NVMe SSD. Operating on Microsoft Hyper-V, this instance delivers strong single-core CPU and text-processing performance, alongside average multi-core and database capabilities. However, uncached large-block memory read bandwidth is a relative bottleneck, performing in the bottom 25%. With its high memory-to-core ratio and fast local storage, the E16ads_v6 is highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads, including relational databases, in-memory caching, and text processing pipelines.

    Workload Profiles

    0.88Score
    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.
