    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel processors, high memory density, and integrated local SSD storage for enterprise database workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E16ds_v4 is a memory-optimized virtual machine from the EDSv4 family, powered by an Intel Xeon 8272CL processor with 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128 GB of RAM. This configuration yields a high 8 GB of memory per core, supported by a bundled 614 GB local SSD. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the x86_64 architecture supports AVX-512 instructions. Benchmark results place the instance in the average tier for most workloads, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 7658.0 and 13.72 million Redis SET operations per second. However, a performance tradeoff is evident in LLM inference, where prompt processing for a 7B model drops to a weak 29.49 tokens/second. The qualitative cost efficiency is driven by high memory density and bundled local storage, making the instance suitable for database operations, caching layers, and memory-intensive enterprise workloads.

    Workload Profiles

    0.77Score
    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.
