      Server Description

      A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated AMD EPYC processors and high memory density for database and caching workloads.

      Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

      Microsoft Azure E16as_v6 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Eav6 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 9V74 x86_64 processor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs (8 physical cores) running at 3.7 GHz, paired with 128.0 GB of RAM, yielding a high 8.0 GB of memory per core. While the instance lacks local storage and GPUs, it supports Premium Storage. Benchmark data reveals strong single-core CPU and text processing performance, alongside average multi-core and database execution speeds. However, large-block uncached memory read bandwidth is weak. Qualitatively, its high memory-to-vCPU ratio provides excellent resource density for memory-bound workloads without the cost of excess compute. It is highly suitable for database operations, caching layers, and memory-intensive enterprise applications.

      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.
