    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    An x86_64 virtual machine featuring high memory density, dedicated Intel Xeon processing, and local storage for memory-intensive workloads.

    Memory OptimizedStorage & DatabaseGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E16ds_v7 is an Edsv7-family virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated x86_64 vCPUs powered by an Intel Xeon 6973P-C processor running at 4.2 GHz. It is equipped with 128.0 GB of RAM, establishing a high 8.0 GB per core memory-to-vCPU ratio, and includes a 945 GB local disk. Operating on the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor, the CPU features a large 480 MB L3 cache and supports advanced instruction sets like AVX-512 and Intel AMX. Benchmark results place its general compute, database operations, and memory bandwidth in the average tier, while single-threaded gzip compression and small-model LLM text generation reach top-tier performance. Lacking a GPU, this server is designed for memory-intensive workloads, database management, and structured data processing where high memory capacity and local storage are prioritized over raw parallel compute.

    Workload Profiles

    1.68Score
    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.
