CPU and System Topology
Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring high-frequency AMD EPYC processing and a dense memory-to-vCPU ratio for enterprise database and caching workloads.
Microsoft Azure E16as_v7 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the Easv7 family, powered by an AMD EPYC 9V45 x86_64 processor. It features 16 dedicated vCPUs across 8 physical cores running at 4.5 GHz, paired with 128.0 GB of RAM, yielding an 8.0 GB per vCPU ratio. This instance does not include local storage or GPUs, but supports Premium Storage. Benchmarks reveal top-tier single-core CPU performance and single-threaded compression speeds, alongside strong memory performance. However, multi-core operations and large-block memory bandwidth remain average, and large LLM inference speeds are weak. This configuration is highly suitable for memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, caching layers, and enterprise applications requiring a high memory-to-compute ratio without the need for local NVMe drives.
