    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A memory-optimized, network-ready virtual machine featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and advanced matrix extensions for demanding enterprise workloads.

    Memory OptimizedGeneral Purpose

    Microsoft Azure E16ns_v6 is an Env6 family virtual machine featuring 16 dedicated vCPUs and 128.0 GB of RAM, running on an Intel Xeon 8573C processor at 4.2 GHz. Built on the x86_64 architecture, it provides 8 physical cores with hyper-threading and a substantial 260 MB L3 cache. The processor supports Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions and AVX-512 instructions. While the instance lacks local storage and GPU accelerators, it is network-optimized and premium storage capable. Benchmark data shows average-tier performance across general compute and memory bandwidth, with top-tier results in text generation for small language models. This memory-optimized profile is highly suited for database operations, Redis caching, and memory-intensive enterprise applications.

    Workload Profiles

    1.3Score
    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.
